Social Science Research Council

The SSRC builds interdisciplinary intellectual networks to address global changes. We bring varied perspectives to bear on crucial issues and mobilize inclusive and informed publics based in multiple geographical locations. In this way, these activities promote international collaboration.

International collaboration operates as a “strategic emphasis” that crosscuts, and integrates with, Council-wide programmatic areas, projects and activities, while also moving the Council’s regional programs into a new generation of research and scholarship. This is achieved through:

• organizing collaborative research on regional, cross-regional and global issues,
• facilitating and evaluating cooperation amongst institutions, centers and social science donors to enable international collaboration, 
• developing training and exchange activities that promote research collaboration.
