Mission & Goals
Our mission is to work on the promotion and dissemination of social business and its capacity to transform social needs. We do it through 4 objectives: to promote knowledge brokering between the universities and the socila business/social economy entities; the education and generation of knowledge of students and teachers in social business; to raise awareness of the importance of social business and to generate opinion and make political and social advocacy in the areas of interest of the social business.
