Changes – Crises – Reactions (Adaptation of local organizations of social services in peripheral countries in Europe)

What is LOSS (Local Organization of Social Services)?

On the one hand LOSS was an international cooperation in research established in Munich in 1993 by Czech, Italian, Finnish, English, American and Hungarian universities. Researchers met two times a year alternately in one of the member countries and discussed pre-selected themes (organization of education, project sustainability, migration, dependency, demographic crisis, etc.), promoting each other’s empirical studies and university teaching job by these conferences.

On the other hand LOSS is a term commonly used as a synonym for social care in communal areas, human resources in a particular area of the society are regenerated in this sector. LOSS includes elements of human resource production and preservation on the institutional level as well as spontaneous social actions starting from education, training and education systems, through health promotion, health care systems to direct and indirect social support systems. Therefore, it is responsible for one of the most important social and economic factors: the human being.
