In the area of applied research CAAT primarily specializes in:

• Needs assessment of socially disadvantaged populations in order to outline integrative projects and social service needs for the purpose of (community) planning social services.
• Policy analysis and practice especially directed at issues of social inclusion/exclusion, migration and immigration, integration of aliens and “minorities”, intercultural education, and various forms of political and public response to social and cultural differentiation within contemporary complex societies.
• Situational and case studies of disadvantaged and socially excluded populations (as the potential clients of social and integrative services), of the residential formations that are being segregated and mostly inhabited by “Romany” families; and of case studies of the social networks of immigrant communities.
• Fear of crime, criminalization a victimization of marginal social groups.
