Joseba Zalakain

I have a degree in Information Sciences from the University of the Basque Country (1991) and a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DEA) in Social Work from the Public University of Navarre (2004). I have been working since 1996 at the SIIS of the Eguía Careaga Foundation, a think tank specialised in the analysis of social policies located in the Basque Country (Spain). I have participated in different research on social services, poverty, social exclusion, long-term care, ageing and disability. I have also participated in the design and management of several social services observatories. I have participated in the elaboration of the social services, family and homelessness strategies of the Basque Government, as well as in several plans on minimum income against poverty.
I have been part of the Advisory Council of the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare and I am currently part of the Civil Dialogue Roundtable on Long-term Care of the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, as well as of the Executive Committee of the Spanish Social Policy Network (REPS). I have collaborated in the Master’s Degree in intervention with people in situations of vulnerability and social exclusion at the University of Deusto and in the University Specialisation Course in management and innovation in social services at the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU).
