The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences is a place where great minds are brought together to confront the critical issues of our time, where boundaries and assumptions are challenged, where original interdisciplinary thinking is the norm, where extraordinary collaborations become possible, and where innovative ideas and thinking are in pursuit of intellectual breakthroughs that can shape our world.

 

Since its inception in 1954, researchers associated with CASBS have explored vexing questions and concerns. They have and continue to create and extend knowledge of our world. The Center’s annual mix of distinguished thinkers of proven accomplishment facilitates advanced thinking and research. They study contemporary societal problems and contribute to evidence-based policy and solutions. 

 

However, progress on theoretical, empirical, and societally important questions increasingly requires multiple perspectives and cross-disciplinary synergy. Today, CASBS also is an epicenter for short- and long-term research networks, projects, and workshops. This 21st century, reimagined CASBS supports both individual research and creative collaboration.
