Network events & meetings

The RAY network meets once a year in order to discuss current research findings and develop further ideas and take decision on RAY activities

At the working group meetings of the different research strands, researchers and National Agency representatives meet to discuss, monitor and further develop the respective research projects.

The RAY Strategy Group – which consists of RAY partners (National Agency together with research partner) appointed by the network as well as members of the RAY Network Coordination (at FI NA) and the RAY Research Team (Youth Policy Labs / Genesis) – is additionally meeting twice a year.

Open conferences & seminars

RAY aims at contributing to cooperation and dialogue between research, policy and practice in the youth field.

From time to time, the RAY Network hosts open conferences, strategic seminars or international policy events, where not only RAY partners, but also stakeholders of the European youth (policy) field, researchers and policy makers can attend.

Furthermore, research results and findings are presented at various events of the European youth field an in the youth policy sector.
