This cross-cutting issue aims to stimulate research focusing on the permeability of stresses and resources across different life-course domains, such as family, work, education, leisure time or well-being trajectories.

This cross-cutting issue explores the dynamics of stress and resilience among interdependent individuals or between individuals and the normative and institutional context in which they are embedded. The agenda centres on four research themes.

This cross-cutting issue emphasises the importance of the accumulation of social and economic as well as psychological and physiological resources over the course of life. Its analytical focus is the study of the long-term consequences of the accumulation and use of such resources on the development of vulnerability. It centres on the following themes.

This cross-cutting issue develops strategies for innovative longitudinal empirical analyses and new methods to study vulnerability across the course of life, at both individual and population levels. Five main themes are addressed.

The LIVES Centre and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland (HES-SO) have joined forces to develop a platform aimed at supporting the development of social innovation projects based on research on the life-course and vulnerability.
