Strategic Vision
It is our understanding that contemporary social problems and global challenges can only be addressed if there is a real integration of different fields to study, analyse and provide evidence-based and data-based solutions to policy-makers. At the SDLab, this on-going resilient interdisciplinary work between the social sciences and digital technologies finds expression in national and international projects, involving multidisciplinary teams and interdisciplinary perspectives in an integrative manner to address the challenges of the 21st century.
The SDLab builds on past collaborations and brings together six research units at Iscte, working together and conveying their synergies and disciplinary expertise to create and sustain a new generation of interdisciplinary scientific contributions between the social sciences and digital.
