Inter University Centre for Social Science Research and Extension is conceived as an independent institution for advanced studies. It is structured as a platform for the convergence of interdisciplinary knowledge where experts from various Universities with a mission to promote, exchange, collaborate, and share the resources through study programmes, courses, workshops, projects, and conferences. The Centre has adopted convergence as a methodological approach to understand social realities without the hurdle of disciplinary boundaries within and outside conventional social and natural sciences.

IUCSSRE primarily aims to facilitate theoretical researches in the interfaces of established social sciences, with intellectual efforts to simultaneously evolve their praxis through extension for social development meeting long-term needs such as ecological sustainability as well as the livelihood improvement of the socio-economically backward people.

The IUCSSRE makes a concerted effort to propagate knowledge to the people so as to better equip them to understand social issues with the help of social sciences. This will help in cultivating a critical consciousness among people as against commonsensical understanding of issues to a more comprehensive analysis of the reality which confronts them.

IUCSSRE has started functioning in 2011 and is currently housed at the School of Social Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala.
