Glossary LIVES BETA VERSION

Welcome to the new LIVES wiki-glossary! With over 30 central concepts described and explained, this initiative aims to make interdisciplinary research more simple and straightforward.

This glossary includes critical terminology for conducting interdisciplinary research on vulnerability in a life course perspective

Researchers will soon benefit from these definitions for the analysis of vulnerability in a life-course perspective.
