What is done in European cities to reduce social problems? How can people be helped who are affected or threatened by social inequality? These pressing issues, not only from an academic, but also from a political point of view, will be investigated in the context of the project "Welfare innovations at the local level in favour of cohesion "(WILCO) by researchers from 11 countries. This project will be funded for three years by means of the Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development of the European Union. At the Institute of Political Science, a team from the chair of Prof. Dr. Annette Zimmer is cooperating in the WILCO project.
