In Europe's ageing societies, being able to age healthily and actively is a major challenge not only for older people themselves but also for wider society. Moreover, older adults continue to be at risk of social exclusion in key life domains, including material and financial resources, social relations, access to services, community and neighbourhood integration, and civic and cultural participation. While social exclusion in later life represents a key topic for research and policy, significant gaps in knowledge and understanding persist. Such gaps reduce the potential for evidence-based policy and practice development. One major shortcoming in current research knowledge concerns the lack of conceptual development and empirical evidence on older adults' exclusion from multidimensional civic engagement. CIVEX aims to meet this gap. It will investigate features of exclusion from multidimensional civic engagement in later life, examine older adults' experiences of such exclusion, and identify evidence-based policy responses to address this form of exclusion. CIVEX will develop a comprehensive and interdisciplinary research project combining fundamental research and societal impact. The CIVEX consortium includes five European countries selected to represent contrasting welfare state regimes and cultural contexts: Anglo-Saxon (UK), Continental (Belgium), Nordic (Sweden and Finland) and Southern (Spain).Taking a holistic perspective, the overarching aim of CIVEX is to examine exclusion from multidimensional forms of civic engagement in later life. CIVEX will address five objectives linked to multidimensional civic engagement of a diverse older population: 1) micro-level variables, with a focus on a diversity and intersectionality (gender, socio-economic and ethno-cultural backgrounds); 2) meso-level variables and 3) macro-level drivers of exclusion to understand how neighbourhoods and communities as well as welfare state regimes influence the multidimensional exclusion from civic engagement of a diverse older population; 4) lived experiences of inclusion and exclusion from civic engagement of potentially marginalised groups of older adults; and 5) life-course perspectives to assess how conditions earlier in life and at key stages of the adult life course affect individuals' opportunities to participate in multidimensional civic activities later in life. In meeting these scientific objectives, CIVEX seeks to produce a new, comprehensive theoretical model to conceptualise exclusion from multidimensional civic engagement in later life.To achieve its objectives, CIVEX will use a mixed-methods design to compare, relate and complement both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. CIVEX also aims to optimise the balance between evidence-based and practice-based handling, ultimately coming to evidence-based practice. For that reason, CIVEX has been developed as a co-production project. Older adults and older people's organisations will play central role in CIVEX. Older adults will not only be research participants but also co-researchers, providing an essential "insider perspective" in collecting, analysing, presenting and disseminating the data and also when developing and disseminating evidence-based policy responses. The group of older adults within CIVEX will represent the current composition of European citizens and the five participating countries in CIVEX. Older people's organisations involved will, in turn, act as an advisory board and will work side by side with academic partners to ensure the societal relevance of the research, its translation into effective evidence-based policy recommendations, and its wide dissemination to relevant public audiences. As a result, CIVEX will seek to show how older adults' interests and concerns may be better represented in public decision making processes.

在欧洲的老龄化社会，能够健康和积极地步入老年不仅是老年人本身的一项重大挑战，也是整个社会的一项重大挑战。此外，老年人在重要的生活领域，包括物质和财政资源、社会关系、获得服务的机会、社区和邻里融合以及公民和文化参与方面，仍然面临社会排斥的风险。虽然晚年的社会排斥是研究和政策的一个关键主题，但在知识和理解方面仍然存在重大差距。这种差距降低了制定循证政策和做法的潜力。目前研究知识的一个主要缺陷是缺乏关于老年人被排除在多层面公民参与之外的概念发展和经验证据。CIVEX旨在弥补这一差距。它将调查多维公民参与晚年生活的排斥特征，研究老年人的这种排斥的经验，并确定以证据为基础的政策反应，以解决这种形式的排斥。CIVEX将开发一个综合性和跨学科的研究项目，结合基础研究和社会影响。CIVEX联盟包括五个欧洲国家，选择代表对比鲜明的福利国家制度和文化背景：盎格鲁-撒克逊（英国），大陆（比利时），北欧（瑞典和芬兰）和南方（西班牙）。从整体的角度来看，CIVEX的首要目标是检查排除多维形式的公民参与晚年生活。CIVEX将致力于实现与多样化老年人口的多层面公民参与相关的五个目标：1）微观层面的变量，重点是多样性和交叉性（性别、社会经济和民族文化背景）; 2）中观层面变量和3）宏观层面变量水平的排斥驱动因素，以了解邻里和社区以及福利国家制度如何影响公民参与的多层面排斥这些研究包括：（1）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（2）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（3）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（4）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（5）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（6）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（7）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（8）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（10）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（11）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（12）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（13）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（14）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（15）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（15）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（16）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式;（17）不同年龄段的老年人的生活方式。为了实现这些科学目标，CIVEX试图建立一个新的，全面的理论模型，以概念化从多维公民参与晚年生活的排斥。为了实现其目标，CIVEX将使用混合方法设计，比较，联系和补充定量和定性的观点。CIVEX还旨在优化基于证据和基于实践的处理之间的平衡，最终实现基于证据的实践。因此，CIVEX已被开发为一个联合生产项目。老年人和老年人组织将在CIVEX中发挥核心作用。老年人将不仅是研究参与者，而且也是共同研究者，在收集、分析、提出和传播数据以及在制定和传播循证对策时提供重要的“内部视角”。CIVEX中的老年人群体将代表目前欧洲公民和CIVEX五个参与国的组成。参与的老年人组织将作为咨询委员会，与学术伙伴并肩工作，以确保研究的社会相关性，将其转化为有效的循证政策建议，并向相关公众广泛传播。因此，CIVEX将努力表明如何在公共决策过程中更好地代表老年人的利益和关切。
