Social inclusion and equal opportunities are key elements of a just society. Social innovations can create new approaches and pathways for the social inclusion of different target groups. To strengthen social inclusion, we conduct research and test innovative approaches in practice-orientated projects or transfer proven practices to new contexts. We apply the broad spectrum of social scientific methods. We also contribute our expertise and experience as evaluators of socially inclusive approaches or methods. We cover diverse topics such as migration, education, employment, housing, health and social economy. Our aim is to create inclusive communities by addressing local needs and combating social exclusion.
