The UK’s longitudinal studies are leading sources of evidence on how our early circumstances and experiences affect our paths through life and our outcomes in adulthood.  CLOSER is bringing together researchers from across disciplines to showcase outstanding longitudinal research in the importance of early years, childhood and adolescence. It is an opportunity to share ideas and innovations with longitudinal researchers from across disciplines and sectors, both from the UK and abroad. It will also showcase the latest resources for research, including a new cutting-edge metadata search platform.

 

Breakout sessions focus on:

·       Health

·       Inequality

·       Education

·       Socioemotional Skills

·       Mental Health & Wellbeing

·       Labour Market Outcomes

·       Families & Parenting
