AMCIS studies inequalities in (post-)industrialized societies. Our research focuses on inequalities in education, income, living arrangements and political participation.

The Amsterdam Centre for Inequality Studies (AMCIS) was founded in 2011 at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to initiate, facilitate, and valorize interdisciplinary research into inequality.

Scholars from different disciplinary, methodological, and national backgrounds gather in  AMCIS to study inequality. The central goal of the Amsterdam Centre for Inequality Studies is to actively promote interdisciplinary collaborations in inequality research, but ideally also to foster relationships with stakeholders outside the university. We organize several workshops where stakeholders and scholars collectively discuss and share knowledge on inequality. Finally, AMCIS sees it as a goal to facilitate the collection of (open-access) high-quality data on inequality in different domains.
