The Social Trends Institute promotes rigorous, cutting edge academic research that advances the public discourse concerning topics relevant to the future of work, to technology and ethics, and to the pillars of thriving societies.
In recognition of their shared mission to make a positive impact on society through the dissemination of advanced research, the Social Trends Institute and IESE Business School made a collaboration agreement in 2018. A yearly joint call for proposals is among the ways this agreement is put into practice. STI awards grants to fund IESE-led research that aligns the aims of both institutions.
