About

The Institute of Public Goods and Policies (IPP) is an interdisciplinary research institute of the Spanish National Research Council, CSIC. The IPP is dedicated to analysing some of the most pressing issues and challenges of the 21st century, including, among others, widening social inequalities, sustainability and climate change, rapid technological change, increasing migration and ethnic diversity, and rising political polarisation and the questioning of core democratic principles. Advancing our understanding of these interconnected challenges and of how societies – through their institutions, organisations and public policies – (can) respond to them requires novel interdisciplinary research. This implies combining cutting-edge scientific knowledge from economics, political science, sociology, and science and technology studies, and integrating experimental, observational and in-depth qualitative methodologies.
