International Congress on Sustainable SociaI Development and INDESS Workshop

Welcome to the web space of the University Institute of Research for Sustainable Social Development (INDESS), which arises in response to a need existing in 2010 of the scientific community that works on sustainability and social welfare in the Social Sciences. For this reason, 147 researchers decided to join forces to become a Center of reference in the field of research in this discipline.

INDESS was established with the aim of establishing a specialized offer of scientific-technical services, offering solutions to the needs of society and of any institution (public/private) that demands our services, favoring, in this way, the transfer and dissemination of results to society.

INDESS is conceived as a higher structure, aimed at research, training and transfer, capable of developing different lines of work and interdisciplinary projects to respond to the challenges existing in the 21st century society. We advance by uniting and sharing efforts, resources and ideas. For this reason, we are open to collaborating with researchers from other Research Centers, both public and private. The Institute was born with a clear vision for local development, but with a vocation to extend its services to the national and international community.

INDESS is both a physical space (with excellent facilities, where there are state-of-the-art instruments) and a virtual one, which serves as a platform for its researchers to identify and develop new opportunities for cooperation and financing, promoting the realization of R+D+i projects. collaborative. For this reason, it is hoped to establish Master's and Doctorate schools, and pre- and post-doctoral training networks at the frontiers of knowledge of the Social Sciences as a logical result for the transfer of research to society.
