"Quote from SFRI about why they value the partnership"
About the Foundation
The Scanlon Foundation aspires to see Australia advance as a welcoming, prosperous and cohesive nation particularly related to the transition of migrants into Australian Society. By supporting ongoing longitudinal research into the indicators of social cohesion, the Foundation utilises current and ongoing research to inform its activities and to identify the areas of greatest need within Australia.
About the Institute
The Scanlon Foundation Research Institute exists as a bridge between academic insight and public thought on matters relating to Australia’s social cohesion.
The Scanlon Foundation Research Institute (SFRI) undertakes research to help Australia advance as a welcoming, prosperous and cohesive nation, particularly where this relates to the transition of migrants into Australian society.
As an independent, not-for-profit research institute, the SFRI is dedicated to formalising and strengthening research that adds value to Australia in the fields of social and applied sciences.
The need for the SFRI’s work has come from the increasing attention given to the concept of social cohesion and the lack of available data on the Australian experience beyond SFRI’s annual Mapping Social Cohesion survey.
While there is research undertaken by others on social cohesion, there is no other research institution that parallels the longstanding work of the Scanlon Foundation.
