Over the past weeks, LeTs-Care researchers have presented work that advances understanding of long‑term care systems, social policy innovation, and the role of communities and civil society in ageing societies.
Recent visibility at the ESPANet Annual Conference in Lisbon
Just a few days ago, LeTs‑Care researchers were present at the European Social Policy Network (ESPANet) Annual Conference 2026, held at the Lisbon School of Economics & Management (26–28 August 2026). Two presentations further expanded the project’s academic footprint:
-
Poškutė, V. One Challenge, Three Systems: Aligning Pensions, Labour Markets, and Long‑Term Care Policies in Ageing Lithuania.
-
Greve, B., Lopes, A. & Poškutė, V. Pitch your book session: Handbook on Social Policy and Civil Society, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2026.
Upcoming contributions at the International Long‑Term Care Policy Network (ILPN) Conference
At the 8th International Conference on Evidence‑based Policy in Long‑Term Care, hosted by the London School of Economics and Political Science (9–11 September 2026), two LeTs‑Care presentations will showcase emerging insights from our comparative research:
-
Poškutė, V. & Kazlauskaitė, R. Low‑Cost, High‑Impact Solutions: Community and Volunteer Models Supporting Older People in Lithuania.
-
Morris, N. & Poškutė, V. Long‑Term Care Innovations across the World.
These contributions highlight how community‑based initiatives and international innovation trends can inspire more resilient and inclusive long‑term care systems.
These works underline the project’s commitment to bridging research, policy and practice, and to engaging with the international academic community on the structural challenges shaping Europe’s LTC future.
