From October 1, 2018, the Social Networks Laboratory (called "Sieciownia") changed its name to the Social Cohesion Laboratory. It is a sympathetically connected and open team of researchers and reflective practitioners - lecturers, PhD students, students, professionals and social activists. We are united by the belief that modern societies need to rebuild and strengthen the bonds existing in them, hence our mission: "By networking noble ideas, innovative enterprises and good people, we contribute to positive social changes."

We participate in numerous research and social projects. We prefer action research and networking research. We have experience in analyzing cross-border cooperation networks (Polish-German project "Trust beyond borders"), in diagnosing the dynamics of social entrepreneurship (project "Network model of social entrepreneurship development"), in programming revitalization at its best (Polish-Danish project "Bottom-up – innovative shaping of public space”). In research on Lubuskie inclusion networks (project entitled "Lubuskie inclusion networks").

We invite you to joint research and activities for social change, and above all to research in action.
