Research on contemporary social transformations, addressing such issues as multicultural and multi-ethnic societies, urban development and local governance in a context of globalization.
MOST aims to:
(1) further understanding of social transformations;
(2) establish sustainable links between social science researchers and decision-makers;
(3) strengthen scientific, professional and institutional capacities, particularly in developing countries;
(4) encourage the design of research-anchored policy.
In February 2002, at the Second World Social Forum (Porto Alegre, Brazil), UNESCO-MOST organized several seminars addressing various aspects of democratic governance.
Recent products of MOST include multi-contributor studies on young people growing-up in an urbanized world and the impact of natural disasters upon the poorest urban populations, and a pedagogic kit of twelve fact-sheets on globalization and sustainable development.
