The Finnish Society of Social Work Research

The aim of the Finnish Society of Social Work Research is to improve the position of social work research in society, to promote the exchange of research results, expertise and experience between different actors and to develop international cooperation. Another important task of the Society for Social Work Research is to raise the profile of social work research and to recognise research of merit.

As a research society, the Society of Social Work Research provides a forum for its members to discuss directions in social work research, generate new openings and strengthen their own scholarship. The Society’s individual and community members represent researchers, teachers, experts, students and practitioners of social work. Members of the Society participate free of charge in national events organised by the Society, such as the annual Social Work Research Days.
