The HETFA Research Institute is organising an international conference titled “Shaping the Future: Evaluating Programs and Policies in Public Education and Youth Development”. The event is hosted within the framework of the COST Action PROFEEDBACK and will take place in Budapest on 18–19 June 2025. The aim of the conference is to encourage joint reflection among leading policy experts, researchers, and practitioners committed to the effective development of youth and education policy.
The event will focus on the following evaluation topics: youth inclusion, programmes addressing NEETs (young people not in education, employment, or training), and supporting the school-to-work transition; the role of social innovation and community spaces in youth engagement and mental health support; and the evaluation of educational policies, prevention of early school leaving, and the role of informal education. The detailed conference agenda is also available here.
Participation in the event is subject to registration. Further information is available on the official PROFEEDBACK website.
