Mission and vision - about the IPP
The Institute of Public Goods and Policies (IPP) is one of the institutes of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in the area of social sciences. Created in 2007, it is located in Madrid.
IPP research focuses on the analysis of some of the most pressing issues and challenges of the 21st century. The IPP team includes tenured researchers, post-doctoral researchers, PhD students and technical and support staff working together to produce knowledge that is valued by both the international scientific community and society. To this end, IPP researchers combine cutting-edge scientific knowledge from economics, political science, sociology, and science and technology studies, integrating experimental, observational and in-depth qualitative methodologies. IPP research projects are funded by competitive national R&D and EU projects, as well as research contracts and agreements with both public and private institutions.
Currently, the Institute of Public Goods and Policies (IPP) has 28 permanent researchers, 4 permanent technical staff, 11 predoctoral researchers, 14 postdoctoral researchers, 9 contracted technicians, and 2 JAE Intro fellows, totaling 68 CSIC-affiliated personnel at the IPP.
In addition, the Institute hosts 7 visiting researchers and 3 interns.
At present, the IPP also has 5 researchers on special assignments and 2 on leave of absence. If all were to return, the Institute’s scientific staff would total 35 researchers.
IPP is organised in 7 thematic groups and 5 cross-cutting research clusters.
