The ultimate aim of this project is to help generate relevant knowledge of excellence making a notable contribution to the development of an ecosystem with a significant social impact.

The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of corporate CSR initiatives and strategies on people management policies.

The main aim of this project is to study the mechanism of governance in creating and developing digital common assets at the creation and development stage. The initiative is also intended to study how a social movement (in this case, in support of an open and neutral telecommunications network) ends with the creation of a new market, imposing certain social and ethical principles, and combining activism with new business initiatives.

This European project will develop and implement gender equality plans for research institutes and universities so as to the speed up the following processes: 1) eliminate barriers to the hiring, retention and career progress of female researchers; 2) address gender imbalances in decision-making processes, 3) integrate the gender dimension in research and innovation content.

This EU project will develop a set of tools to implement "challenge-based idea accelerators", while also setting up an initial ideas accelerator focused on homeless people. These tools are intended for higher education faculty, providing a new practical method in response to the need for greater civic commitment, by developing problem-solving skills, and at the same time encouraging social entrepreneurship among students.

"Preventing discrimination, social exclusion and far-right attitudes in Spain: The role of identity threat and social contact". This project will offer a new critical vision of the factors driving certain attitudes towards immigrants and other minorities or marginalised groups which predominate in the current discourse of the far right in Spain, such as towards women and Muslims.

The purpose is to analyse working conditions in the product home delivery sector in digital commerce in Spain, so as to determine their impact on the occupational health and safety conditions of employees. This helps us to define new ways of working in the digital service sector, taking into account aspects connected with health and safety at work, to protect workers and benefit from Spain's socio-economic context.

Prejudice against immigrants and sexism in Spain: risk factors and preventive strategies.

A project supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, which aspires to establish itself as an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the areas of energy and sustainability.

Crowdsourcing project in home distribution. Gathering the perspective of numerous stakeholders in matters connected with organisational efficiency and occupational health and safety.

The main goal is to offer cities and ecosystems of the social and solidarity economy the opportunity to explore ways they could collaborate better and mutually consolidate one another, while sharing, adapting and adopting different responses to address the consequences of the pandemic.

In this project we will study the incipient development and adoption of regenerative business practices, in other words commercial practices that improve and prosper thanks to the health of socio-ecological systems, within a process of co-evolution. In clear contrast to traditional approaches to business sustainability, regenerative practices are guided by the health of socio-ecological systems. The purpose is to generate a better understanding of the process and of the contingencies of the adoption of regenerative business practices.

Impact investors seek to generate a measurable social and environmental impact, as well as obtaining a return on their investment. In this study we measure the size of this sector in Spain, considering impact finance as part of this. We segmented it in accordance with a number of variables, based on the impact management project, and analysed the key characteristics of each segment.

The aim of this project is better to understand the phenomenon of the spreading of fake news from start to finish, from the perspective of the victims of the misinformation. Validation of the results will focus on two scenarios with the aim of putting the solution to the test in particularly critical situations: elections (moments when polarisation grows) and migration crises (because of the stigmatising effect on the migrant population).

Taking as a reference point the general activity of the EU's European Agency for Safety and Health at Work with regard to the issue of facilitating compliance, this proposal offers knowledge based on research into the practical application of leverage instruments and initiatives in both sectors that can be used by political leaders as well as companies and other stakeholders in the agri-food and construction sectors.
