The best way to understand what IQSS does is to understand their mission, reprinted here.
Our scientific mission is: (1) to create, and make widely accessible, statistical, computational, and analytical tools for the social sciences; and (2) to use these tools for understanding and solving major problems that affect society and the well-being of human populations.
The mark attempts to represent the complex nature of the social sciences and to show the insights available when applying quantitative tools to the problem.
