Universiteit van Amsterdam

The Amsterdam School for Social Science Research (ASSR) unites scholarly research in the social sciences at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences of the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA). The mission of the ASSR is to develop interdisciplinary research programmes across the social sciences, primarily anthropology, political science, and sociology.  The programmes set out to investigate social developments transcending the boundaries of local or national settings, addressing local, national and transnational levels of analysis and their interaction.

In addition to some 100 permanent staff, 15 post docs and a consistent range of visiting scholars, the ASSR currently has more than 60 Ph.D. students conducting a variety of projects.

Research at the ASSR is structured into trans-disciplinary clusters rather than along traditional disciplinary lines. Many of the resulting programmes intersect with GARNET’s core themes. Examples include normative perspectives on transnational (e.g. European) integration, health politics, economic and financial regulation, science and technology studies and the transformation of welfare states.

The ASSR has been officially recognised by the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1994. This accreditation was renewed as recently as 2004.
