The members of the Institute undertake applied research commissioned by various types of organizations and institutions. They also cooperate with local and foreign social science institutions and universities in interdisciplinary researches and participate in the planning and implementation of comparative research projects initiated by international organizations.

The Institute’s successful international projects extend over several major EU-surveys, NATO conferences and OECD projects. The following projects can be mentioned in the first place: the old-age programme associated with the Japanese Foundation; the HIV Prevention within High-Risk Social Networks – International Social Network Study research project, led by CAIR, Medical College of Wisconsin, sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, USA; (Luxemburg, Austria); and the bilateral exchange programmes with the CNRS and the Russian, the Polish, the Ukrainian, the Armenian and the Romanian Academies of Sciences. The institute contacted the OECD’s science-political and economy-strategic committees and made a bilateral agreement with the renowned social-science institute of Berlin (WZB) for the Third Word Countries – especially for the Balkan programmes. The institute is a member of a Central-European social research PhD training network located in Prague. It has expanded its cooperation with the Environment Political Institute of the United Nations University (Bonn), and has continued the global Water Programme of UNESCO (Paris). It has actively taken part in the programmes offered by the Soros Foundation which are supporting the reforms of social-scientific education in the large post-soviet universities (Petersburg, Llov, Harkov, Kisinyov). The institute is a prominent partner and continuous host of the Hungarian programmes of the German Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES). It has launched the preparation of those FES programmes in which it will be a joint-partner in some Balkan and East-European programmes.

The books and collections of papers produced by the associates of the Institute were published in Germany, Austria, Great Britain, in the US, in Poland, Romania, Russia, and in a dozen other countries besides Hungary. The regular scholarly and research network of the Institute extends over thirty countries. The Institute is involved in regular exchanges of information, or in research projects at least with one institute (but usually more than one) in the following countries: Japan, Norway, Germany, Finland, Slovakia, Russia, Holland, Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, the United States, the UK, France, Canada, Israel, Greece, India and Georgia.
