Research support programs
One of the objectives set by the Chair is the promotion and support of research. This is where the scholarships for the completion of doctoral theses with a Castells theme are born, and the agreement to call together with the Centre de Prospectiva i Anàlisi dels Castells (CEPAC) the Research Grant, which has already reached its third edition. In addition, we have a tutoring program for high school research papers focusing on castells.
