Research Consortium on Social Cohesion

The Research Consortium on Social Cohesion is a collaborative effort among researchers and institutions dedicated to understanding how and why social cohesion—trust, respect, and solidarity among community members—develops or declines. Its goal is to identify factors that strengthen or weaken social bonds, especially in diverse societies, and to develop strategies that promote social harmony. By sharing data and insights, the consortium helps policymakers and communities foster environments where everyone feels connected, supported, and able to participate fully in society.
