UPF-BSMAGBAR CHAIR OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES IN INSTITUTIONAL COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Promoting research and study of the 2030 Agenda and its promotion and communication from the institutions, with the objective of achieving sustainable growth and development.

This Chair was born from UPF-BSM and the Agbar Group working together to promote the study and knowledge about the future of the 2030 Agenda and the field of sustainability. The aim is to promote research and dissemination of the study of institutional communication for sustainable development and growth integrated into the implementation of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. To this end, the Chair seeks to address the different challenges of the 2030 Agenda, offering an interdisciplinary vision based on the intersection of different areas of research and knowledge, while seeking to provide useful knowledge for the academic and private world. 

Objectives

  • The Chair seeks to bring the university community and the Catalan population closer to the main debates and challenges surrounding the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Promote the study of the paradigms of sustainable growth and development through the analysis of the field of institutional communication and its relationship with other disciplines.
  • Promote high-impact applied research, developing possible indicators for the evaluation of policies and international experiences in the world of institutional communication and its intersection with other related fields. To do it, the Chair will seek to expand knowledge of the 2030 Agenda, emphasizing the following specific thematic areas:
    • Institutional and political communication.
    • Country brand and international political/economic effects of the 2030 Agenda.
    • Finance, international markets, and their influence on new economic policies and economic development paradigms.
