About CLACSO
CLACSO’s Working Groups (WG) are interdisciplinary networks of researchers from different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean which gather around a topic or social problem relevant to the region.
The WGs work to produce rigorous and relevant comparative knowledge, and seek to achieve an effective relationship among researchers, policymakers and social organizations.
The WGs are organized based on the results of public contests in which proposals for the creation of WGs, in conjunction with work plans, are presented. These proposals are then evaluated by international judges.
