  Abstract:  

The PhoenixTN - Thematic Network on Health and Social Welfare Policy, approved and financed by the European Commission in 2001, is a project developed in the framework of the program Socrates/Erasmus, that started with the participation of 45 (now 87), mainly European universities. Since the very beginning, one of the main goals of PhoenixTN has been to improve the understanding of health in the society, especially the interrelations between health and social change, contributing to the integration of new subjects in the field. This was pursued through the comprehensive and dedicated effort of all participants, a close collaboration and continuous dialogue between educational bodies and non-academic institutions. We also involved the mass media in order to foster the dissemination of the outcomes to a larger audience, targeting especially politicians and stakeholders.
    Within these efforts, it is a pleasure to celebrate the thematic issue of Studia Sociologia, the journal of one of the most active partners in the project. Our collaboration in this special issue constitutes an important scientific event and a significant contribution to the aims of the PhoenixTN network.
