PLATON+ Fact Sheets provide a short description of a key socio-economic topic and its social, economic political and cultural impact on the European Union. They aim to stimulate discussions while highlight a number of ‘open' issues for future research rather than provide a detailed presentation of the topic.

They are addressing the members of the business community and researchers from other than Socio-economic Science and Humanities disciplines, helping them to better understand how the particular topic can/ should be addressed within their activities.
