In the Faculty of Social Sciences, we stand for a research- and evidence-based worldview, value researchers and high-level research, and foster the development of a new generation of academic staff. In research and development, we focus on quality and important societal and economic challenges, combining different academic disciplines to solve them, and actively involving partners, resources and foreign funding to finance research. The guiding idea of the strategic plan period is the realisation of social sciences as a collection of research disciplines that perceive the development trends, connect different parties, and offer research-based solutions in the modern world, Estonian society, and the university.
