About Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research AISSR

The Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR) unites all social science research of the UvA.

The research programme focuses on the functioning of contemporary societies and their interrelationships from historical, comparative and empirical perspectives.

The research programme is organised into thematically focused groups with an anchor in one or more of the 4 represented disciplines:

* Sociology * Geography, Planning & Development Studies * Political Science * Anthropology

AISSR stimulates researchers to develop research programmes and outcomes that are at the forefront of scholarly endeavour. These should be relevant and able to contribute to a better practical understanding of both past and contemporary social and policy issues. This pursuit of scholarly excellence and societal relevance must also contribute to the training and emergence of a future generation of researchers.
