Working group of social science institutes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Sozialwissenschaftlicher Instituts eV (ASI) is an association based in Cologne , in which non-profit social science research institutions and university institutes from the Federal Republic of Germany are united. The aim is to promote social science research, especially the empirical orientation.

The Working Group of Social Science Institutes was founded in Berlin in 1949 and in October of the same year published the journal Soziale Welt (Issue 1) for the first time . In 1953 it was entered in the Cologne Register of Associations. In 1969 she founded the Informationszentrums Sozialwissenschaften (IZ) in Bonn, which was merged into GESIS - Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences in 2007. The working group has been cooperating with the Working Group of German Market and Social Research Institutes (ADM) since 1981 . It organizes working groups and scientific conferences on special topics. The ASI series of social science publications has been published by Springer VS since 2010.

The board includes Frank Faulbaum , Paul Hill, Jürgen Schupp , Matthias Stahl, Birgit Pfau-Effinger and Christof Wolf. The ASI has several personal members.
