Research projects HSRI
Our researchers share the goal to conduct excellent research and are strongly driven by scientific curiosity. In our research projects, we combine expertise and knowledge across departments to investigate complex societal problems in a more integral way.
Three cross cutting themes:
Our multi-disciplinary research is focused on three cross-cutting themes:
Adaptive Societies, Organizations, and Workers
