Within the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) 4, researchers investigate the complex relationships between individuals, institutions and societies. From there, they develop a new perspective on micro-phenomena (e.g. development of personality, competences and individualization) as well as macro-phenomena (e.g. world society, globalization). The aim is for example, to identify key factors that influence social cohesion, equal opportunities, efficiency, resource protection and the development of individual skills in the context of all these factors.
Further information on the structure of the TRA ‘Individuals & Societies’.
In order to ascertain the wide spectrum of research questions in the context of the TRA ‘Individuals & Societies’, many different perspectives need to be taken into account. Economical questions crossover with legal, political, sociological and religious questions etc.
The TRA currently focusses on developing the following profile areas, which bundle the research interests of our members in an outstanding way:
