About us

Presentation Researchers of the Institute for Social Studies are able to combine mutual diversities in a constructive manner and provide a critical response to the current social issues. We share an uncompromising commitment to the scientific ethics and strive towards international exchange and academic cooperation. Who we are The Institute for Social Studies has evolved from the Institute for Mediterranean Humanities and Social Studies, established in 2001 as the first institute launched by the Science and Research Centre. As an interdisciplinary institute, we combine sociology, media studies, cultural studies, anthropology and social geography. The main research areas of the Institute include ethnic and intercultural studies, migration, minority issues, areas of cultural contact, various aspects of everyday life and family life, human rights, marginalised groups and other topics. Competences and achievements The researchers of the Institute undertake both basic and applied research projects, produce scientific and expert reports, organize scientific and expert meetings and take part in national and international research projects. In terms of methodology and research, the Institute closely collaborates with the Public Opinion Research Centre at the Science and Research Centre Koper. Mission and vision In the academic context, the goal of the Institute is to develop and include topics in the field of social sciences (and humanities) that have not found their space in the wider society, to critically reflect on the current social events and to analyse topics related to the multicultural areas. Additionally, the vision of the Institute is to become the foremost interdisciplinary institute covering issues related to the intercultural contact in Slovenia and in the wider region. In the future, the Institute intends to achieve greater international involvement, expand the network of international partner institutions and strengthen links to the economic sector.
