The PPE Institute for Social and Institutional Change (ISIC)
The Department focuses its research activities primarily through the "PPE Institute for Social and Institutional Change" (ISIC). The mission of the ISIC is to develop, promote and make visible the unique approach of PPE research on social and institutional change issues. PPÖ research goes beyond classical multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches by combining philosophy, political science, and economics into a transdisciplinary scientific ecology.
