The "Expert Network for Analytical Support in Social Policies" (ENASSP) is an evolution of the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) and aims to provide scientifically supported analysis of policies and developments in the areas of social protection and inclusion at both national and European levels. Specifically, this network involves teams of independent experts from 38 European countries (27 EU member states, as well as candidate countries and EEA countries) with the ultimate goal of providing scientific support for the development of social policy initiatives at the European level and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and best practices among EU member states.
