Sustainable Wellbeing Through Investment in Social Services (SWINS)

SWINS focuses on the rapid changes that European society has undergone in the past 15 years, and the role that social services as social investment can play in addressing these. It aims to develop a toolbox for ex-ante measurement of the economic and social return on investments in social services, working at both the micro and macro level. Consequently, SWINS seeks to help policymakers determine where to allocate their resources, in order to be sustainable and yield the highest social returns.

Project Work

The Maynooth team led by Prof. Ferri and Dr. O’Sullivan will conduct a ‘legal mapping’ exercise of all areas EU law relevant to social services, focusing on state aid, competition, and free movement law, and investigate how EU law can support the deployment and delivery of sustainable social services. They will also identify gaps within the EU legal framework, as well as assessing their impact on national legal systems.
