Title: INCASI2: International Network for Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities

"INCASI, the International Network for Comparative Analysis of Social Inequalities, is an international research and training network between Europe and Latin America that was created in 2015 with a Horizon 2020 project from the European Commission: INCASI1, aimed at studying social inequalities in a comparative manner. The new project, under the Horizon Europe program, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), Staff Exchange (GA101130456), is titled A New Measure of Socioeconomic Inequalities for International Comparison (INCASI2) and aims to construct a new analytical model of socioeconomic inequalities, developed between November 2023 and October 2027. The project is funded with 1,614,600 euros. The project involves 29 organizations: 14 European universities from 6 countries (Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Finland, and Great Britain), 11 universities from Latin America and the Caribbean from 7 countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, and Mexico), and 4 non-academic organizations (Latinobarómetro, CEPAL, INTAL, and LAPOP)."
