Wealth taxation, including net-wealth, capital and exit taxes
The study aims to provide further information regarding the uptake and economic consequences of introducing wealth-related taxes. The purpose of the study is to shed further light firstly into recurrent wealth related taxes by (i) reviewing the conditions for the implementation of a net wealth tax and its consequences, to provide a detailed literature review on recurrent capital taxes in the EU and analyse their economic consequences; and secondly (ii) to provide an overview of existing non-recurrent wealth related taxes, namely, by providing an overview of capital taxes, inheritance and gift taxes and the existing exit tax provisions in the field of personal income taxation (including relevant statutory references), and how these interrelate with and complement the legal framework of taxing net wealth and capital gains. The study builds on previous research work mapping wealth taxes and estimating the consequences of their introduction. It is structured along two parts comprised of two and three workstreams respectively, related to the topics outlined above. Part 1 – Recurrent taxation, Workstream 1 – Net wealth taxes Part 1 – Recurrent taxation, Workstream 2 – Capital taxes Part 2 – Non-recurrent taxation, Workstream 3 – Capital taxes Part 2 – Non-recurrent taxation, Workstream 4 – Inheritance and gift taxes Part 2 – Non-recurrent taxation, Workstream 5 – Exit taxes

Methodologies for Teamworking in Eco-Outwards Research (METEOR)
Key words: doctoral education, transversal skills, sustainable development, On December 1st, the METEOR project started, funded under the Horizon program. The project, led by CASE and implemented with the participation of 11 other partner organizations and one associated partner from Brazil, will last 36 months. The overall aim of METEOR is to improve the transversal skills of current postgraduates and early career researchers, with consequent benefits to research ecosystems, in line with Open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. METEOR emphasizes the capacity to collaborate, work in groups and to develop international transdisciplinary projects oriented towards societal challenges and doctoral employment opportunities. METEOR has 6 specific objectives (SO) corresponding to its work package structure: SO1: Effective Management (WP1). SO2: Collect, analyse and report evidence supporting the need for an innovative doctoral training program (WP2). SO3: Develop a comprehensive transversal skills training program comprising a suite of 10 online training resources, using participatory methodologies co-created with the PhDs, ECRs, institutions and researchers, to enhance the skills specified in the Call (WP3). SO4: Implement the resources from WP3 and related activities in online and in-person delivery mode, with online and F2F events, and Peer Mentoring Groups consisting of 4-6 researchers collaborating for 15 months, with a target of 300 +/- individuals in 50 groups, preparing 50+ proposals based on UN SDGs and focused on impact (WP4). SO5: Create policy and exploitation routes for increasing the scope of doctoral training at local and national levels (WP5). SO6: Communicate and disseminate METEOR activities and results to a wider audience and ensure project’s continuity beyond the funded period (WP6). METEOR activities will benefit doctoral candidates (employment prospects/ earnings), institutions (recruiting PhD candidates, better supervision, more impactful research), industry/public sector (employees with high level research and transversal skills) and society generally (more research focused on challenges). Grant: This project has received funding from Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2021-2027) call: HORIZON-CL2-2024-TRANSFORMATIONS-01 under grant agreement No 101178320 — METEOR.
