Focus areas

Our mission

We strive to contribute to a deeper understanding of social and cultural issues through research and analysis.
Our work supports informed public dialogue and policy development related to migration, integration, identity, and societal change.

We are an independent research center based in Norway, dedicated to producing rigorous scientific knowledge that helps explain social and cultural transformations in contemporary societies.
We aim to provide analytical insights that bridge real-world dynamics with theoretical frameworks.

Research Areas and Analysis

We rely on scientific analysis, critical thinking, and knowledge-based dialogue to understand migration, cultural transformations, and social challenges such as youth violence, marginalization, and extremism in contemporary societies.

Migration and Integration

We provide analytical insights into migration dynamics in Europe, focusing on both challenges and opportunities for integration within local communities.

Youth Violence

We examine the causes and contexts of youth violence as a social phenomenon, exploring its cultural and societal dimensions, with a focus on prevention and early intervention

Culture and Identity

We explore how cultural transformations shape individual and collective identities, and how they influence behavior and social interaction in modern societies.

Extremism and Marginalization

We analyze the relationship between identity, exclusion, and radicalization, and how certain social environments may contribute to the emergence of extremism.
