About Expeditions, Research in Applied Anthropology vzw

Expeditions, Research in Applied Anthropology vzw was founded in 1996 as a research group offering anthropological fieldwork studies while providing opportunities for young scientists to apply their trades. As the group matured, it developed into an independent and international network of social science scholars passionate about ethnographic fieldwork methods. Today, the network serves as a worldwide platform for collaborative and applied research projects, training programs, and consultancy in the broader social sciences (including anthropology, sociology, education, social geography, and planning). Expeditions is a non-profit organization, which means that seeking profit is never a goal in itself, nor do individuals in the organization personally benefit from any profits generated. We find it important to maintain financial independence to remain accountable towards our partners and true to our mission. Our multidisciplinary team offers socially engaged applied research, consultancy, training, and design from an anthropological perspective. We are convinced that our ethnographic focus holds the key to many of the more fundamental questions of contemporary life. The dedication to promoting anthropological research and the broader social sciences is Expeditions' flagship. We do this by: - building on a multidisciplinary network of researchers and research groups - offering consultancy and studies for external partners - providing hands-on training programs in fieldwork methods - creating opportunities for budding researchers to apply their trade and develop professional careers.
