The Laboratory’s director and members aim to investigate contemporary social phenomena and educational issues. The Laboratory seeks to implement research projects that combine theory, research methodology, and best practices. Various working groups monitor developments in scientific fields in order to promote the interconnection of research with advances in economics, political science, sociology, and educational sciences.
At the same time, there is active communication with international organizations such as the United Nations, the OECD, and the committees of the European Union, ensuring that international policy intentions and systemic dynamics are taken into account.
It is emphasized that the Laboratory’s members represent different generations of scholars and diverse academic disciplines, fostering practical interdisciplinary and cross-thematic collaboration. Within its expanded perspectives, the Laboratory integrates research into broader fields of inquiry, continuously redefining and adapting its research focus. The ongoing evaluation of the Laboratory’s structural and scientific services includes criteria, perspectives, and dimensions that ensure the utilization of research outcomes both by local communities and the wider international scientific community.
