Kick-starting the Dialogue: The Evidence-to-Action Board in LONELY-EU. LONELY-EU Policy Brief No. 1

This policy brief introduces the Evidence-to-Action (E2A) Board of LONELY-EU. The E2A Board brings together researchers, policymakers and practitioners to ensure that evidence on social isolation and loneliness is usable for policy design, monitoring and evaluation. It operates as a structured feedback mechanism throughout the project, allowing policy considerations to inform research choices, and research findings to inform policy decisions. The Board supports the development of a European monitoring framework and future policy recommendations at EU, national and local level.
