Vision and Mission

CEIS20 is an institution that sets the core of its mission in an interdisciplinary approach to scientific research in the fields of Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts, among others. 

The Centre's main objectives are set in fostering the development of research, promoting events and activities that seek to divulge knowledge and enrich the scientific discourse, provision of services and consultancy, and offering advanced training courses in the context of its scientific framework and skill. Outlined thusly, our mission is to promote:

1. Researching topics and issues from an interdisciplinary framework. As such, it intends to crossover into different fields and types of knowledge, thusly seeking plural and nuanced methodologies that stem from an integrated, complex and global reading of reality;
2. A curricular offer at PhD and postdoctoral levels, as well as granting scholarships and prizes;
3. Sharing the results, findings and scientific accomplishments of research projects based at CEIS20; 
4. The increase of scientific and academic exchange and the development of networks with other research centres, both at the national and international levels, that share parallel or complementary goals with CEIS20;
5. The provision of services of advanced research consultancy for both national and international organizations, State departments and representatives, and other civil society entities. 

CEIS20's mission is developed through the Interdisciplinary Axes which define its scientific strategy and the Research Groups which make up its internal structure.
