Who we are

Its mission is the development of sociological knowledge and social research. ICSR supports, conducts and facilitates social scientific research, stimulates instruction and discussion, and encourages cooperative relations among people engaged in the scientific study of society.
The Center operates as an independent research institution committed to scientific rigor, interdisciplinary exchange and the dissemination of knowledge for the public benefit.
