📍Workshops on territorial inequalities
Over the past weeks, we’ve held national workshops in 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇫🇮 Finland, and 🇬🇧 the UK—bringing together local stakeholders to discuss regional inequality challenges and solutions.
🧵More below 👇
🤝 These workshops gathered policymakers, researchers, and community leaders to explore territorial inequalities from multiple angles—education, housing, health, infrastructure, and more.
Curious what came out of our national workshops on territorial inequalities (🇩🇪 🇪🇸 🇫🇮 🇬🇧)?
We’ve published summaries for each country, full of insights and practical ideas.

Melinda Mills MBE recently
launched the Mapineq Link tool
for exploring and analysing
regional distribution of
socioeconomic inequalities.
Mapineq Link comprises three components: a database that
includes various indicators from multiple sources, an interactive
web dashboard that makes the database accessible to a broad
audience, and an Application Programming Interface (API) that
allows users to access and retrieve data from the database.
Through the dashboard, journalists, policymakers, researchers,
data scientists, and other users can access information to explore
data spatially and uncover correlations between indicators.
Thrilled to see our recent research on the effect of Madrid's low emission zone on academic performance featured as a Policy Insight at Population Europe
