making research work relevant in order to be able to make direct and indirect recommendations on national development directions that incorporate socially-concerned policies and issues
suggesting positive policies and directions of social development
monitoring their potential adverse impacts on members of Thai society and its social system.

 
 
 
The Social Research Institute was initially established in 1967 as a project of the Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University. Its main objective was to undertake research work according to the needs of national development. Basically, it focused on social sciences research.

The Institute was later promoted to the status of an autonomous organization within Chulalongkorn University in accordance with the Royal Decree of establishment of the Institute promulgated on 22 April 1974.
