This line of research explores a series of discourses of special philosophical significance (such as the ones about states of affairs, material objects, mental and representational states, or evaluative judgments) in order to determine whether it is possible to coherently defend the view that the world as it is in itself, independently of us, does not contain the facts or properties presupposed in them.

GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments that serve to assess the contributions that Education makes towards the development and transformation of society, from a concept of Social Cohesion. It integrates different perspectives and aims to build a global model for the evaluation of education systems, in order to improve education in favour of Social Cohesion. GEM-Educo is developed with a commitment: to evaluate education (whether in the Systems, Institutions or Programmes) from a position that privileges the right of all to a quality education. In other words, integrating inclusion as a basis for achieving excellence. In this sense, the concept of Social Cohesion adopted by the Council of Europe (Lisbon, 2000, 2005), as a guide for the development of public policies, constitutes an integrating and systemic vision of quality, which can embrace the idea of quality as a right for the whole of society from any ideological position. For this reason, GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments which serve to assess the contributions which Education makes towards the development and transformation of society, based on a concept of Social Cohesion. In short, it integrates different perspectives and, due to its holistic - globalising - nature, aims to build a model which necessarily requires the support of a large research group and different projects.
