Our aims are to generate new fundamental knowledge through interdisciplinary research and to implement this knowledge in such areas of human life as education, health, career and professional activity.
We use an interdisciplinary approach, utilising methods of psychology, education, linguistics, genetics, bioinformatics, neuroscience, medicine, law and ethics – to improve our ability to support positive development in different contexts and throughout the life course.
Objectives
- to generate knowledge needed for improvement in peoples’ quality of life and well-being;
- to provide insight into processes of human development from childhood to adulthood;
- to provide insight into aetiology of cognitive, motivational, emotional and physical aspects of human development;
- to study cognitive processes that underlie human intellectual functioning in the modern technologically oriented society;
- to study mutual influences of cognitive and linguistic mechanisms in the process of human development affected by various social factors;
- to pursue knowledge that has direct relevance for policies, programs and practices of child education as well as continuous education;
- to contribute to advancing knowledge about the earliest stages of child development;
- to work on applying this knowledge to shaping policies and interventions that ensure a strong start in life for all children;
- to promote knowledge dissemination on human development;
