ÖzÜ WISE is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to advancing evidence-based policy research on gender-equity, inclusion at work, and social transformation. The Center’s research examines gender inequalities not only at the individual or organizational level, but within the broader interactions among economic structures, organizations, societal change, and technological transformation.

ÖzÜ WISE aims to produce high-quality and multi-disciplinary empirical research. Its work leverages experimental and data-driven methods to generate new insights on topics such as invisible labor, mental load, work-life dynamics, and inequalities within organizations.

ÖzÜ WISE is committed to translating rigorous academic research into actionable insights for policymakers, private sector actors, and civil society. Through strategic collaborations, ÖzÜ WISE contributes to the design of more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable workplaces and institutional systems.
Our vision is to become a globally recognized hub for interdisciplinary research on gender, work, and social transformation. By combining rigorous scholarship with active policy engagement, ÖzÜ WISE aims to play a leading role in shaping institutions and workplaces that are more inclusive, just, and sustainable.
