Everything the consortium has built that you can look something up in. The two explorers run inside this page; the rest are pages on this site. They are the same applications published on lonelinessineurope.eu, running here so you do not have to leave the site to use them.
LONELY-EU Item Explorer
The measurement landscape, item by item. Useful if you are choosing an instrument, writing a methods section or deciding what goes into a protocol.

Add an approach
Ten to twenty minutes, up to three approaches, in any language you like. A two-minute voice note is fine if you would rather talk than type. You do not need to be a researcher and the approach does not need to have been evaluated: if you run a programme, fund one, commission one, or simply know one that works, that is what is being asked for.
What you submit, and give permission to publish, appears in the registry below with a title, a short description and a citation. Use the same email address as your Ties account and the entry attaches to your profile by itself. Your name, organisation and email address are never published.
The registry
What has been tried, by whom, and how well it was evaluated. Every entry sits next to its evidence status.
69 approaches, from 24 countries.

Events
Conferences, webinars, call deadlines and launches that bear on loneliness and social connection. Most of it is read from the calendars organisations publish themselves; the rest is put here by members. Everything is checked by a moderator before it appears, so the list is short on purpose.
