> Research Program
CEDES pursues to strengthen research capabilities in the social sciences to the purpose of generating new spaces for the production of critical, pluralistic, and independent knowledge. The research activities are organized in the following areas: Economy; Higher Education; Politics and Culture; Public Administration and Policies; Social Policies; Health, Economy, and Society; and, Civil Society and Social Development.

It is worth mentioning that CEDES has been granted the Qualification Certificate from the National Agency for Scientific and Technical Promotion that accredits the Center for “having rendered scientific-technological research programs that fulfill the necessary requirements of quality and seriousness, as well as presenting duly qualified researchers and supporting staff to carry them out” (Resolución ANPCyT Nº 54/08).

> Training Program
From the beginning CEDES has always demonstrated a concern for the training of young researchers. This resulted in the Training Program that was in place for over ten years (1979-1991). Many of the graduates of the Training Program continued their graduate studies at leading universities around the world. Others followed up at the university and diverse local or international institutions. In effect, some of the current members of CEDES fulfilled an important stage of their training as researchers in this program. Today, the in-house training program has been replaced by graduate courses coordinated by CEDES “working outdoors” and within the framework of agreements with other institutions (Instituto Di Tella, Universidad de San Andrés, FLACSO). Some of these young researchers that have recently been incorporated into the Institution are graduates of these new programs.

Since the mid-nineties, CEDES has conducted two graduate programs with other renowned institutions in the country: the Master’s in Social Sciences and Health, together with FLACSO-Argentina; and the Graduate Program in Nonprofit Organizations, together with Universidad de San Andrés and Universidad Torcuato Di Tella.

In addition to the young researcher’s Training Program, the members of the Institution carry out highly important teaching activities at national and international universities and at other centers of study at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

> Counseling and Technical Assistance Program
These activities target national and international academic institutions, national and international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and public and private entities that work on themes related the ones carried out by CEDES.
Its main objective is to assist such institutions/organizations in the research process, as well as to extend advises for the design and implementation of public policies and programs.
