Soins de santé

The OSE was awarded a two-year project for providing the Belgian National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (NIHDI/INAMI) and the Belgian health authorities with expertise and analysis on EU policies with a potential impact on national health care systems. This project is the continuation of a longstanding collaboration between the OSE and the NIHDI in this field.

The new project includes: 

Since 2014, the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) has been supporting the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies to foster the development of evidence-based social policy initiatives at European level. In particular, the ESPN supports the Commission in monitoring progress towards the EU’s social protection and social inclusion objectives as set out in the Europe 2020 Strategy, the European Pillar of Social Rights and the European Semester.

The OSE was contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to conduct research, which will result in the 18th edition of the joint edited volume. It will feature renowned academic scholars - Daniel Clegg, Amandine Crespy, Maria João Rodrigues, Vivien Schmidt and Mario Telò - as well as OSE and ETUI contributors. Editors: Bart Vanhercke, Sebastiano Sabato and Denis Bouget.

In 2013, as a response to rising inequalities, poverty and distrust in the EU, the Commission launched a major endeavour to rebalance economic and social policies with the Social Investment Package (SIP). Funded under the Horizon 2020 Programme, the RE-InVEST project aims to strengthen the philosophical, institutional and empirical underpinnings of the SIP, based on social investment in human rights and capabilities. The project will actively involve European citizens severely affected by the crisis in the co-construction of a more powerful and effective social investment agenda.

A la demande de l'Institut syndical européen (ETUI), l'OSE mène une recherche sur les réformes de soins de santé en temps de crise économique. Dans un contexte de contraintes budgétaires de plus en plus fortes, le secteur de la santé est devenu une cible privilégiée pour les décideurs qui cherchent à freiner les dépenses sociales, notamment en raison de sa taille et des gains potentiels d'efficacité.

Le Réseau des politiques sociales européennes (ESPN) a été créé en juillet 2014, à l'initiative de la Commission européenne en vue d’offrir informations, conseils, analyses et expertise indépendants, pertinents et de haute qualité sur les politiques sociales de l'Union européenne et celles des pays voisins. L’ESPN soutiendra en particulier la Commission dans le suivi des progrès accomplis en direction des objectifs de protection sociale et d'inclusion sociale de l'UE définis dans la Stratégie Europe 2020, la Méthode ouverte de coordination sociale et le Paquet investissements sociaux.

The OSE was contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to conduct research, which resulted in a book on “Social Policy in the European Union: State of Play 2015”. The 16th edition of this edited volume (published in September) features external scholars (Richard Hyman, Vivien Schmidt and Jonathan Zeitlin) as well as OSE and ETUI contributers.

L’Institut syndical européen (ETUI) a confié à l’OSE une recherche ayant pour objectif la publication d’un ouvrage établissant le « Bilan social de l’Union européenne 2011 ». Outre l’équipe de l’OSE, cette 12ème édition compte notamment parmi ses auteurs Giuliano Amato et Yves Mény (sur les paradoxes des dynamiques institutionnelles en 2011), Patrick Diamond et Roger Liddle (sur la recherche d’une meilleure gouvernance économique pour l’Union européenne), Christophe Degryse et Philippe Pochet (sur les inquiétants chemins de la nouvelle gouvernance européenne).
