The CHANGE project is a research project between the Herman Deleeck Centre for Social Policy (CSB, University of Antwerp), the Centre for Public and Social Law (CDPS, Université Libre de Bruxelles), and the Centre for Sociological Research (CESO, KU Leuven).
This collaborative initiative is driven by a partnership between academic institutions and funded by BELSPO, the Belgian Science Policy Office under the BRAIN-be program. The core mission of the project is to comprehensively examine and address the challenges faced by non-standard workers within the social protection system. These workers, including the self-employed, part-time employees, fixed-term workers, and those engaged in hybrid work arrangements, often experience gaps in social security coverage.
