IHS Research Units

At the beginning of 2025, IHS reorganized its research units to further strengthen its profile in applied basic research and in independent, research-based policy advice on economically and socially important issues.

Six research groups focus on specific policy areas: Economy and Finances, Labor, Education, Social Affairs, Innovation, Health.

• Business Cycles, Growth and Public Finances
• Labor Markets and the World of Work
• Educational Structures and Educational Opportunities
• Social Cohesion and Polarization
• Social Sustainable Transformation
• Health Systems and Health Policy

The Competence Center Survey Research develops innovative solutions for surveys, provides guidance on the implementation and provides access to new data sources for scientific use.
