dear colleague, we remind you that the deadline for the call for papers of the Transforming Care Conference, to be held at the Polytechnic of MIlan on June 26-28, is*March 25*. The conference is part of a new series of TC conferences to be held every two years, alternatively in Milan and Copenhagen (2019). It includes early child education and care, care for adults with disabilities and long-term care for older people in the same broad perspective, as components of a more general policy field. The 2017 conference focuses on the tensions between policy and social innovation in care policies on the one hand, and pressures for financial and social sustainability of care systems on the other. Care policies not only need to respond to changing care needs, but also to be financially and socially sustainable, from the perspectives of care users, their families and paid care workers. Abstracts must be submitted through the Conference website, where further information about the conference (thematic panels, venue, fees, accommodation, etc.) are available:http://www.transforming-care.net/ We hope to meet you in Milan next June! Costanzo Ranci and TIne Rostgaard
