The Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra is a scientific institution focused on research and advanced training within the Social Sciences, the Arts and the Humanities, through an inter and transdisciplinary approach. CES scientific strategy aims to democratize knowledge, revitalize human rights and contribute to the establishment of science as a public commodity. We pursue this mission by continuously reshaping our research fields in response to the needs of the society. Our work covers a wide range of scientific activities and scope, at the national and international level, with particular focus on the North-South and South-North dialogues, contributing to the development, dissemination and application of cutting-edge science and to an advanced research and training of excellence. CC.Edu is a research and reflection group on the use of citizen science strategies and participatory and collaborative practices of knowledge production with and for educational contexts.
