SWINS: Legal Mapping
The role of EU law and policy in shaping the funding, organisation and delivery of social services
The SWINS Horizon Europe project examines how investments in social services, such as healthcare or eduction, contribute to sustainable wellbeing. EU law and policy shape and constrain the funding, delivery and organisation of these services. The SWINS legal mapping, reviewed by ZOE researchers, examined this relationship by answering the following three questions:
1. How are social services conceptualised, legally defined and regulated (directly or indirectly)
across different strands of EU law?
2. How do EU legal rules delimit the scope of national intervention in social services?
3. To what extent do relevant EU legal frameworks create normative tensions or ambiguities that
affect national social investment?
