About the Institute

Mission

ISRZ carries out socially significant, fundamental and applied quantitative and qualitative scientific research of different aspects of the Croatian society, in a systematical, longitudinal and interdisciplinary manner. Our research topics include social stratification, space, youth, education, science, culture and religion. This key role of the ISRZ implies the publication of research results in books and journals, and their presentation at scientific conferences. We foster intensive international collaboration and networking, knowledge dissemination, and especially the transfer of knowledge to younger generations, i.e. to junior researchers, while contributing to the development of the Croatian society by providing scientific bases for public policies.
