RAY Network Coordination - Research-based analysis of European youth programmes
The RAY Network is an open and self-governed European youth research network. It was founded in 2008 with the aim to conduct accompanying research for the European youth programmes, starting with one research project – the Monitoring Surveys of Erasmus+ Youth in Action. Since then it has grown in projects and in partners. Currently 9 research strands, including the monitoring of Erasmus+ Youth and the European Solidarity Corps and other thematic projects are conducted by the RAY Network.
