This area includes research on social care and social work, both within welfare state organisations and civil society.
It includes research on the interventions and activities of social services, their organisation, method development and collaboration with other organisations. Research can address both interventions and preventive measures.
Social work in healthcare, schools, and other sectors, as well as issues of informal care and the role of family caregivers, are also included.
Research on the interactions between citizens and representatives of various institutions, such as individual and family care, elderly care, and childcare, also fits within this area.
