The Chair aims to promote research and knowledge transfer to respond to the current challenges facing society from the perspective of social, economic and environmental responsibility at all levels: personal, corporate and university.
Since its inception, the Chair has received the support of Cáritas Diocesana de Girona in promoting corporate responsibility in SMEs and, given that it is sponsored by Santander Universidades, it has joined the Santander Social Responsibility Chairs Network, a network made up of different Spanish universities.
In the economic sphere, the aim is to promote Social Responsibility in SMEs and to influence the training of university students in this area. In the social and environmental fields, the lines of research revolve around the development of cross-cutting skills in university students via their participation in projects run by local social organisations and the identification of training spaces that promote social responsibility in university teaching staff.
