Department of Social Sciences

Connecting various science disciplines and perspectives: that’s the power of the Department of Social Sciences (DSS) of Wageningen University & Research. At the Department of Social Sciences 21 chair groups study and come up with solutions on how to change or improve systems, practices and behaviour, and how to build support in society that is more equal, more sustainable and healthier. This is how we contribute to designing a better future.
