Research in social work is characterized by its applicability and often carried out in close relationship with organizations and practices. Our research environment is characterized by cross-border approaches, where theories and methods from several disciplines are applied to social problems and social issues.
In the research that is conducted, light is directed towards the various processes that create and recreate vulnerability, inequality and exclusion, as well as all kinds of initiatives that want to meet and counteract these. The research varies from studies conducted in close relationship with social work practice to structural preventive social work and is carried out in different work and research groups.
