Welcome to The Edelstein Center for Social Research

The Edelstein Center for Social Research supports research, conferences, courses for policy-makers, awards and publications that stimulate the elaboration, evaluation and dissemination of new conceptual frameworks, public policies and civil society projects.

Currently our main priorities are:

a) To promote scientific research and public debate in Brazil and Latin America in order to meet the challenges of democratic consolidation with social justice and to increase the capacity of the region to engage in the international debate on globalization agendas.

b) To support the worldwide dissemination of Latin American social scientists intellectual production.

c) To strengthen the infra-structures of knowledge distribution and it’s interface with the institutions of civil society and the political system.

The Center maintains an internal research unit. To advance its activities it seeks to associate itself with other national and international institutions.

Since it chooses partners to carry out it's projects, the Center does not solicit projects. Proposals for partnerships will be considered, however the Center does not guarantee the evaluation of these projects in a predetermined period.
