UNIVERSITY OF GENEVE Switzerland |
The Institute of Citizenship Studies (InCite) is a research center within the Geneva School of Social Science at the University of Geneva (UNIGE). InCite aims to promote research as well as other initiatives bearing on citizenship and on the social, political, and legal issues associated with it in all different aspects: formal, participatory, identitarian, and other.
Currently, four research groups exist within InCite and pursue activities on more specific aspects of citizenship: CitCare, on the policies of care; MultiCite, on political and moral questions relating to citizenship, democracy, and multiculturalism; PolCite, on forms of political participation and youth engagement; and PostCit, otherness, "race", and postcoloniality.
InCite replaced the Institute of social and political research (Resop) from January 1, 2014. The latter has been involved in a number of EU-funded projects (UNEMPOL, DEMOS, LOCALMULTIDEM, YOUNEX, EURISLAM, LIVEWHAT). InCite is currently coordinating the EURYKA project and participating in the POWER2YOUTH and TRANSSOL projects, all EU funded.
