In the research it develops on these themes, the group is guided by standards of high scientific quality, seeking to achieve effective results for the advancement of knowledge in these two areas and participating significantly in the international scientific community. No less important is the orientation of most of the projects developed by its researchers to lead to results with strong social impact, both in the rationale, implementation and evaluation of public policies on education and training and public policies on science, technology and innovation, and in the public dissemination of relevant research results in these fields to citizens and civil society organizations.

The Education and Science Research Group has had a strong commitment to the integration of young researchers, both in the advanced training of doctoral students and in the participation of post-doctoral researchers in projects and other scientific activities, encouraging them to develop their own research projects, particularly internationally.
