2017-2020	Civic identity and transnational media practices of the Baltic Russian-speaking populations in the context of political crisis We will examine how civic identity and quotidian acts of citizenship emerge and are transformed among the Estonian and Latvian Russian-speaking population during their frequent and multifarious digital contacts with individuals and collectives in Russia and the Baltic Russian-language blogosphere in the context of an ongoing political tensions between the relevant states. The project will be built on a two-fold theoretical framework: mediated transnationalism among a population with a migrant background and new types of political/civic participation via internet-mediated, individualized public spheres. We aim to explain the interplay between the subjects’ general socio-economic involvement, the development of their personal online networks and strategies used in online interactions, as an important transforming mechanism of their civic identity in the context of political tensions.

2017-2019	IDEA This project aims to build the capacity of legal representatives and other professionals who represent the interests of children in the legal system to advance children's rights in each of the five partner countries (Ireland, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, and Sweden). The main focus of the project will be on child protection, but by its nature, this overlaps with other areas of law, including criminal law and private family law. Existing research has clearly identified the existence of deficits in the practical implementation of a children's rights-based approach in the broad area of child protection in each of the partner countries. It has also identified a lack of appropriate training as one of the primary causes of these deficits. Finally, it has emerged that none of the partner countries have strongly developed networks among legal professionals working in the area of child protection. Accordingly, the main aim of this project will be to develop networks and deliver training on a range of issues related to children¿s rights so as to build capacity and improve children¿s rights outcomes. There will be an emphasis on inter-disciplinary training and skills, and to this end, the project team includes experts in both Law and Social Work from each of the five partner countries.

2017-2019	Children's subjective well-being in comparative perspective: methodological challenges and practical contributions The current exploratory grant application is aimed to study children’s subjective well-being in comparative perspective and to communicate research evidences to evidence-based practice that involves children. More specifically, our objectives are to advance research on children’s subjective well-being; to contribute its quantitative and qualitative comparative methodologies; and to serve practice with high-standard comparative evidences about children’s everyday lives and happiness. The project will be a part of international 'Children's Worlds' study and 'Multi-National Qualitative Study of Children’s Well-being' and will extend analysis drawn from the resource base of international project FRA. A focus in this project is also put on different children's groups and their perceptions of well-being. The project integrates the perspectives of positive subjective well-being indicators’ research, the children’s rights and child friendly justice, and the notion of children’s agency.

Our objective is to apply theoretical elaborations for developing combined quantitative and qualitative methodology to analyze the effects of social time-space compression on the macro, meso and micro levels of the social system.
