INTRAWAY is committed to working with the government and the community sector as they navigate their way through reform to achieve better outcomes for all citizens, particularly those that are vulnerable. In this way, Intraway has engaged in the development of the social sector and assists institutions in designing and implementing projects dealing with the reintegration of disadvantaged and marginalized groups into society and the labor market, the introduction of active labor market measures, promotion of employment and life-long learning and mainstreaming the needs of vulnerable groups in program and project design and implementation. 

We conduct fundamental research and promote applied and empirical research on employment, social policy, inequalities, demography, and family issues. In recent years research emphasis has shifted towards issues of social cohesion, funded by local and national authorities, private organizations, the EU, and other international bodies.
