About ICCR International

ICCR International is an editorial site. It keeps a long archive of articles online and publishes new, signed pieces from outside contributors.

History

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Comparative Research in the Social Sciences (ICCR) was a research organisation with offices in Vienna and Paris. In its own mission statement it described its aim as improving society through high-quality research and efficient dissemination, and it listed four research areas: Economy, Society and Environment; European Developments: Policy and Politics; Social Policy Analysis; and Social Structures. It published the annual report Broadsheet, the book series Contemporary Trends in European Social Sciences, and the journal Innovation, and it coordinated European projects such as EUROPUB, ALP-NET and ACTIVAGE.

The pages on this site are a preserved archive of the ICCR website from 1999 to 2015. This site is independent and is not operated by, or affiliated with, the ICCR.

What we publish

European social policy and governance, regional development, ageing and health, innovation and technology policy, research methods, and conference and project reports.

How we work

Every article shows the date it was published when that date is known. Archive articles are preserved as they were first published, and we mark them as archive material. New contributions go through the checks on our editorial standards page.
