The Interdisciplinary Research Structure for Reading researches and disseminates the research about reading in the paper and digital environment. Its research deals with the recognition of words and with the integration of information in multiple documents, the difficulties that people experience in these tasks or the promotion of literary reading. Its research combines the rigour and the experimental precision with the study of applied tasks or the development of products and techniques for evaluating and improving reading skills.

The Interdisciplinary Research Structure for Reading disseminates the results of its researches in scientific environments and among professionals and interested organisations in the improvement of the reading skills of the population. For this purpose the Interdisciplinary Research Structure organises annual conferences on Reading and it advises to educational centres, companies and institutions.
