What is IRIDe ?

IRIDe is an intersciplinary research centre of the University of Milano (Italy) focused on decision making processes in different contexts and from different perspectives. Founded in 2007, IRIDe is part of a large network of university faculties, in which researchers with different specialization exchange information and ideas and have the opportunity to share research and educational projects.
The main idea of IRIDe is to bridge the several sides of decision science and to build a shared site to work together.
Following this idea, IRIDe is made up of 7 scientific sections:

  • - Psychology
    - Medicine
    - Law
    - Economy
    - Political Science
    - Sociology
    - Organization


Each section represents an independent research domain in which decision making represent a focus of particular interest. Each section brings to the others its particular perspectives and interests, contributing to the whole functioning of the centre.
Moreover, a specific effort is made by researchers to produce a common language, so to be able to give rise to a shared representation of problems and possible solutions.


IRIDe: Research and Intervention

IRIDe is active both in the research side and in the intervention side on decision making. We believe, in fact, that these are two sides of a same coin, in which one side supports the other in a reciprocal way.
Pursuing this idea, our focus is on both theoretical and on applied research, on international projects and action research, on education and consulting, always with the specific aim to bring together the two sides of IRIDe program. So it’s possible to enhance our knowledge of decision making and our ability to intervene in different contexts so to improve real decision making and prevent errors and hazardous choices.
