Centre for the Advancement of Social Sciences Research 社會科學研究中心

The Centre for the Advancement of Social Sciences Research Centre was established in 2010. It capitalises on the expertise currently available at the Faculty of Social Sciences and other academic units of the Hong Kong Baptist University and helps build the necessary infrastructures so as to nurture and sustain related research endeavours. In this connection, CASR provides ready survey instruments

, sampling frames, and advice in the employment of advanced quantitative and qualitative techniques, facilitates social science and related research undertaken by all faculty members of the University. As the research issues facing social scientists are now so profoundly complex and their solutions often demand the combined resources of multiple disciplines, multiple professions and multiple institutions, the Centre serves as a platform that engenders inter-departmental collaboration and synergizes new inter-disciplinary research endeavours within and beyond the Faculty. The Centre also serves as an outreach arm of the University to facilitate knowledge transfer to the wider community by way of conducting consultancy works for the government, NGOs, the media and other organisations, conducting regular opinion surveys on various policy issues, holding press conferences, and joining force with the academic departments and other research centres within and outside the Faculty to undertake policy research and organise research seminars, workshops and related endeavours. CASR is distinguished from similar units in other universities by its close collaboration with academic departments and other research units of the University, and by its commitment to pursuing academic excellence in the realm of social science studies.


社會科學研究中心（CASR）於 2010 年成立，雲集本校社會科學院及其他學科的專家人材，促進及支援不同範疇的研究項目。

社會科學研究中心為各學院的研究員、老師及學生，提供在社會科學領域、及其它範疇的專業意見，如: 調查工具的應用、取樣框架的建議、進階質化及量化調查方法的使用。

在進行研究時，研究題目或涉及多個學科、多個專業，甚至，跨院校的合作。本中心便成一個中介的角色，作跨部門、跨院校的平台，促進社會科學院內，研究員、老師及學生的研究工作。相比其他大學的研究組織，本中心著重與社會科學院內、及以外的學術部門及其它研究中心的合作，致力提升社會科學領域之學術水平。

除此之外，本研究中心亦為大學與社會之間的橋樑，為政府、非政府組織、媒體及其他團體提供研究顧問服務; 針對各項政策、進行政策研究、定期進行民意調查;舉行研討會、工作坊及其他相關活動，並定期召開記者招待會，向大眾分享有關研究的成果，從而回饋社會及教育大眾。
