Understanding populations, their convictions, their preferences, their expectations, their reasoning, the context in which they live, as well as the analysis of the collective dynamics that drive them, constitute essential elements of knowledge for conducting efficient public policies.

Focusing primarily on questions and the use of appropriate methods to answer them, this program is inherently interdisciplinary. To date, it brings together experimental psychologists, sociologists, philosophers and economists.

Within these orientations, the research conducted in the Mind, Society and Public Policy program has a dual purpose:

This program is divided into 6 research topics.
