Institute for Social Sciences & Humanities

The Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities (ISSH), founded in 2012, is a beacon of accessible and uncensored knowledge in social sciences and humanities. Known by various services and initiatives, including a Graduate School, ISSH stands as an alternative online university with a global reach. Originally established in response to violations of the right to education, academic freedom, and university autonomy, ISSH has expanded its mission to overcome censorship and barriers to impartial, high-quality education on an international scale. ISSH’s Netherlands-based institution is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment that encourages critical thinking and intellectual exchange.

A World Where Human Knowledge Knows No Bounds: ISSH envisions a global educational landscape where quality, uncensored learning in social studies and humanities is not just a privilege but a universal right. Their aspiration is rooted in the relentless pursuit of sustaining a qualified, worlds class, and free-of-charge online graduate school that serves as a gateway to intellectual empowerment. They strive to create an ecosystem that resonates with the needs of diverse learners, particularly those in regions where access to unbiased and uncensored education is often restricted.

ISSH’s mission is to provide accessible and uncensored knowledge in social sciences and humanities to Persian speaking learners around the world. Through our alternative educational platforms, including Academia, AcademiX, Agora, University Press, ICCI, and Innovation Lab, we offer a variety of educational programs, courses, contents, events, and other activities that cater to the general public.
