INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMMES
Among the seven current programmes, a vast number of
fields and subjects are covered. This is the result of new modes of social
action, economical changes and the relationships between globalisation and the
collective and individual expression of the human being, expressions which have
always been present, but that are now going through new paths.
This programme analyses theories and develops studies to
have a better understanding of the third sector, helping to make predictions
about its nature and evolution; the role of different NGOs as political and
social powers is studied, trying to bridge civil society and the public and
private sector. The main research lines are: relationship civil society-State,
citizen participation in economy; NGOs and development; and globalisation of
civil society.
This programme has established interaction mechanisms with
diverse organisations, which has enabled the creation of the National Network of
Studies of the Third Sector (Red Nacional de Estudios del Tercer Sector), as
well as the analogous one in Latin America. It also gives consultancy to
environmental and philanthropic organisations.

This programme was created to cater for external requests
of research projects and studies that require a particular timeframe and
conditions to be carried out by the consultancy services. Not only do these

basis and academic support for the institutional programmes. Among other
activities this programme carries out the planning and programmes, as well as
