The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.

The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Research group on action and intervention for social change - InterCanvi

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2023-549

 
Description of research activity:
The research group addresses different aspects of the theory and practice of action and intervention for social change. It also addresses the structural context of change, new forms of exclusion and growing global risks to the sustainability of life. To address these issues, the group particularly works on cross-cutting approaches and issues such as the gender approach, the rights approach, diversity, new technologies, social innovation, the social economy, sustainability and the ethics of care. Based on social work, the group approach is highly interdisciplinary. It seeks to connect distinct disciplines and branches within the social sciences. The group has a clearly transformative vocation and a connection with the professional and organisational practice of social work and other disciplines. In fact, its members have a broad professional, activist and advisory background in organisations. For this reason, the group has the vocation to carry out academic activity that is highly focused on the transfer and application of knowledge, particularly in relation to public administration and social organisations. To approach its aims, the group applies very diverse methodologies,...The research group addresses different aspects of the theory and practice of action and intervention for social change.
