United Nations Research Institute for Social Development

The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) was established in 1963 to create an independent, autonomous space within the United Nations system for policy-relevant research and dialogue on important social issues. The UNRISD mission is to generate knowledge and articulate policy alternatives on contemporary social development challenges and processes. Through its multidisciplinary research in collaboration with partners throughout the world, events and publications, the Institute works in support of policies and practices that reduce poverty and inequality, advance well-being and rights, and create more democratic and just societies.
