On 16th March 2023, the University of Florence will host the launch event of the Horizon project ”CARE4CARE” at the Lecture Hall in Piazza San Marco 4, Florence (Italy).

With a budget of more than EUR 2.7 million over a three-year period, the CARE4CARE project will study the risks and conditions that put so-called ‘care workers’ in vulnerable positions and their perception in the labour market within six EU member states: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden.
