The Institute takes part of a project in which twelve groups from different Spanish universities participe, coordinated by the Institute of Human Rights, Bartolomé de las Casas of the University of Madrid Carlos III. The selected project is called The Times of Rights and the main researcher has been the Professor Gregorio Peces-Barba.
