Strategic Focus

The group formulates and develops basic and applied research projects in psychology and cognition. During the design and execution of projects, the training of researchers is a central axis that goes from the undergraduate to the doctoral level and is materialized through scientific publications, lectures at national and international events, scientific cooperation and the development of programs with social projection that promote practices based on research and the social appropriation of knowledge. The group's development horizon is aimed at consolidating itself locally, nationally and internationally, as an academic community of reference for the training of researchers and scientific production in psychology and cognition, with high standards of quality, productivity, disciplinary, interdisciplinary and social impact.
