Cardus' busiest research project explores the deep connections between education and cultural formation. This relationship is constantly changing and Cardus, through research and networking activities, identifies the areas in this landscape that merit further attention in our efforts to contribute to a more robust social architecture.

We live in a time that is dominated by cities. They are socially complex, represent massive resource investments, and generate human and cultural outputs at a startling scale. Cardus is at work discerning the nature of human thriving amid the complexity and diversity of our urban experiences.

What we believe and how we work are more connected than we often think. At Cardus we think we're onto something—a way of connecting belief and behaviour in work and economics—a way of organizing our understanding of work and economics in North America that can contribute to the common good.
