At the IPU, scientists with extensive experience in practice, teaching, and research teach and conduct research. It provides excellent learning and working conditions as well as resources. Discussion and joint development - interdisciplinary and beyond status groups - is a defining feature of the IPU's scientific and organizational work.

The IPU encourages (self-)reflective teaching, research, and application, as well as close integration of application and research and interdisciplinary and international dialogue. It contributes to the population's health care. The IPU offers study, advanced training, and research in psychoanalytic basics, and is committed to a transdisciplinary understanding of science in its teaching and research.
