Research Unit Inside

Globalisation, technological innovation and steadily increasing life expectancy are changing the way we live. Understanding the individual and social implications of these fast moving challenges requires in-depth knowledge of the social sciences as well as innovative interdisciplinary research. This is the vocation of the Integrative Research Unit on Social and Individual Development (INSIDE). INSIDE research is thus oriented to real-life problems using a cross-disciplinary approach. Major research topics comprise health, family and generations, social work, and social inequality. Currently, the unit hosts over 100 researchers from psychology, sociology, economics, educational sciences and social work.
