Policy Press and the European Social Work Research Association

The European Social Work Research Association (ESWRA) is the central hub for social work research, development, collaboration and exchange across Europe. Its central aim is to promote the development, practice and utilization of social work research across Europe, and beyond, to enhance knowledge about social problems and to promote just and equitable societies.

Policy Press is proud to partner with ESWRA to publish the both our Research in Social Work series and a new journal, European Social Work Research.

European Social Work Research is the flagship journal of the European Social Work Research Association and is dedicated to the development, practice and utilization of social work research. It is the only Europe-wide journal to focus uniquely on social work research and its intended audience is scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers and other researchers who have an interest in social problems, social work and the contribution that social work makes to just and equitable societies.

Our Research in Social Work series furthers the shared aim of ESWRA and Policy Press, enhancing the capacity and learning opportunities of the global social work community and providing a vehicle for the very latest research to influence the development of social work research, policy and practice globally. It offers essential reading for academics, practitioners, researchers and upper-level students across the field.
