Goal of the project

IP-PAD aims to understand of how the developing cognition and brain of young adolescents influences how they process political information and their political behaviour. ​

IP-PAD addresses this need by integrating the perspectives of social sciences (including political science, sociology, economics and other cognate disciplines) and psychological sciences (including developmental and affective neuroscience) to study the developing political brain and behaviour of Generation Alpha (born after 2010) across five European countries. ​

The project involves extensive collaborations between the following  universities and organizations : University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), University of Vienna (Austria), Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences (Greece),  Jagiellonian University (Poland) and Royal Holloway University of London (UK). Across all universities we have formed multidisciplinary supervisory teams with the participation of political scientists and political/social psychologists, cognitive and developmental neuroscientists and social scientists. ​

In addition, each Doctoral Candidate will undertake a period of secondment with one of our associate partners: the European Youth Parliament, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission,  Gallup International, and Counterpoint Global.
