TrygFonden’s Child Research Center is a newly established interdisciplinary research center at
Aarhus University that seeks to strengthen the effectiveness of social policies targeting children
and youth in Denmark. The center is funded by a generous grant from TrygFonden to pioneer
new, scientific impact evaluations and to work with policymakers to integrate evidence into policies
that improve the wellbeing of children and youth.

The center is directed by Prof. Michael Rosholm, Professor of Economics at Aarhus University,
and is intended to become a focal point for an expanding network of researchers in child language
and literacy, criminology, economics, pedagogy, political science, psychology and sociology.

Our Opening Conference takes place on the 29th - 31st of August 2013, in Aarhus and brings
together researchers and policymakers to listen to and discuss presentations on global evidence
and evidence-informed policy for children and youth, through expert presentations on
methodology, practice and current evidence.

The first day marks the official opening of the center. an introduction to impact evaluations in
practice. We will draw lessons from other countries and discuss the possibilities and priorities for
strengthening the Danish evidence base. On the 2nd and 3rd day, we proceed with an academic
conference.
