The whole team of FamyCH meets December 6 at the University of Neuchâtel for workshops.

At the annual conference of the European Multi-locality Studies Network, we presented our ongoing S3 research project examining the impact of architecture and housing on child well-being in post-separation families.

The Sinergia FamyCH team meets at University of Lausanne (UNIL) for the PhD Colloquium taking place every six months.

At the annual meeting of the Habitologie network, we presented the ongoing research project focusing on the discourse of child well-being in housing studies.

At the recent LIVES Day held at the University of Geneva, Giulia F. M. Spagnulo presented the first preliminary results of the SNSF FamyCH project, a pilot daily diary study focused on child well-being, interparental conflict, and mental load. The event, hosted by the Swiss Centre of Expertise in Life Course Research, provided an excellent platform for her to share the initial findings and engage with experts in the field.

We are delighted to present the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Sinergia-funded initiative, „Family Custody Arrangements and Child Well-Being in Switzerland 2023-2027“ (FamyCH) at the online kick-off meeting. Since the launch of the project in September 2023, our team has been working diligently on the national survey that will underpin our recruitment of participants for in-depth sub-studies exploring legal, spatial, and relational dimensions. The first wave of the longitudinal survey will take place this summer. We look forward to sharing the objectives and status of the research project with the project partners and advisory board members at the event.

The Sinergia project is presented to experts in statistics and demography at the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG).

The Sinergia FamyCH team met at ETH Zurich for the PhD Colloquium taking place every six months. Afterwards, the group visited the performative housing project Stampfenbachstrasse by EMI architects and the Zollhaus by the housing cooperative Kalkbreite planed by Enzmann Fischer Partner AG to discuss spatial aspects relevant for family living.

Our research teams from the University of Lausanne, the University of Neuchâtel and the ETH Zurich will meet for a three-day retreat at the end of January 2024 to work on the national survey.

Prof. Joëlle Darwiche presented the research project to experts of the Centre LIVES at the University of Lausanne.
