Institute of Sociology

At the heart of our teaching and research are questions of how our contemporary, engineered society can evolve and develop. We offer our students the opportunity to find out about as well as gain a deeper knowledge of the theories and methods for conducting analyses of society in a cooperative and discursive environment. We conduct numerous research projects on highly topical as well as established themes, particularly in the area of space and innovation. Explore our website to find out about our degree programs, our research and our institute. You can also speak to us at one of our many public events or contact us directly.
