The mission of Knowledge and Innovation is to promote, through research, the production of new knowledge about the profound processes of change affecting contemporary societies.
This has also led to a commitment to work towards strengthening the interpretative capacities of social research, both by broadening its scope (to include “new provinces” of subjects not yet taken into account) and by strengthening its ability to probe deeply into social phenomena (to penetrate the newest and most hidden layers of reality, which currently tend to elude analysis).
