Empirical social science research is growing in its relevance, especially in researching systematically disadvantaged (so-called vulnerable) populations, such as migrants, refugees or aboriginal populations.

 

Research Across Borders believes scientific research is a powerful tool to gain an informed understanding of underlying psychological, socio-economic and legal mechanisms of issues that matter, based on empirical evidence.

​

All findings are directed at making positive change through influencing organizations and governments.

 

More specifically, the goal is contemporary social science research on society-impacting events with a proactive IT use to:

• Empirically determine effect on society, and to

• Inform recommendations/product development to

  • Mitigate negative impact (e.g. prediction of labour exploitation) and 

  • Perpetuate positive impact (e.g. empowerment of vulnerable populations).
