MADNEQ is an informal network designed to strengthen ties among Madrid-based and visiting researchers working on inequality, public policy, and related social science topics. Jointly organized by scholars from CUNEF Universidad, Universidad de Alcalá, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Universidad Complutense, and Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, the project hosts workshops every three to four months. These sessions provide a friendly and constructive environment for scholars, with an emphasis on early-career researchers, to present their work in progress.
Below you can find information on upcoming meetings, programs from previous events, and contact details for the network organizers.
