Our research

Our world is shaped by complex relationships between people, societies, and places. At the School of Global Studies, we conduct research on some of the most urgent global challenges of our time – from climate and sustainability to migration, human rights, and issues of peace and conflict. Through our research, we aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Research subjects

Drawing on a range of scientific perspectives, we examine relationships, conflicts, and processes of change at both local and global levels. Our know-how is based on deep analysis, empirical and locally rooted knowledge, dialogues and conversations with individuals and groups, and understanding of local conditions and global processes.
