The Center features several major areas of inquiry including Social Genomics, Risk and Resilience, and Education Economics. We are also home to several large, ongoing longitudinal studies of Swiss adolescents, including z-proso and COCON. We are devoted to opportunities for training and exchange for young and established scientists. Each semester, we host a research seminar series and a stimulating mix of interdisciplinary workshops, summer schools, small scientific conferences, and visiting scholars.

Our Center is also a vibrant workplace.
