Sascha dos Santos wins NEPS Publication Award 2025

Sascha dos Santos and his co-authors were honored for their contribution to the European Sociological Review entitled "Does training beget training over the life course? Cumulative advantage in work-related non-formal training participation in Germany and the UK" by the interdisciplinary jury of the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) as one of this year's two winning teams of the NEPS Publication Award. The NEPS (National Education Panel Study) collects longitudinal data on educational processes and skills development in Germany.

The award ceremony took place during the 10th International NEPS Conference at LIfBi in Bamberg. Sascha dos Santos gave a keynote speech on the award-winning comparative study on the cumulative benefits of work-related continuing education measures in Germany and the UK, which was also available online as part of the LIfBi Lectures series. For him, the NEPS Publication Award is a special recognition of the joint research work carried out by the team. At the same time, he sees it as a signal that, in times of technological change, education and labor market research must not stop at initial training but must consider continuing education processes throughout the entire working life to adequately understand social inequalities.
