This approach combines theory-based methods with empirical analyses and international comparisons, including outside the OECD. <\/p>\n<p>Key institutions include<a href=\"https:\/\/www.socium.uni-bremen.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> SOCIUM \u2013 Research Center on Inequality and Social Policy<\/a> and the Institute of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-bremen.de\/en\/institute-of-intercultural-and-international-studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intercultural and International Studies (InIIS)<\/a>. Research networks such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialpolicydynamics.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Dynamics of Social Policy (CRC 1342)<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/fgz-risc.de\/en\/index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research Institute for Social Cohesion<\/a>, the Social Dynamics of the Self research training group, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/difis.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">German Institute for Interdisciplinary Social Policy Research<\/a> pool their expertise and research capabilities. Research data infrastructures such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualiservice.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Qualiservice<\/a> research data center and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wesis.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Welfare State Information System<\/a> support evidence-based analyses.  <\/p>\n<p>In the coming years, the universities aim to strengthen the Northwest Alliance as an international hub for global social policy, social cohesion, and statehood. To this end, outstanding international researchers are being invited, cooperation with the University of Groningen (RUG) is being deepened, and global visibility is being enhanced. <\/p>\n<p>Building on experience with structured doctoral programs (BIGSSS, 3GO), a joint PhD program is being established for Bremen, Oldenburg, and Groningen. It connects early career researchers with leading scholars, offers a unique training environment for the empirical analysis of social cohesion, and integrates quantitative and qualitative methods. <\/p>\n<p>The locations complement each other in terms of methodology and subject matter: Computational social science and network research in Bremen and Oldenburg, supplemented by analytical sociology, political science, and social network analysis at the University of Groningen. Joint research institutes, graduate schools, and exchange programs ensure long-term cooperation and the international visibility of the research focus.
