CALL FOR WORKING GROUPS 2026-2028
OPEN CALL UNTIL DECEMBER 5, 2025
The Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) opens the XI Call for proposals for the formation of Working Groups (WGs) for the period 2026-2028.
What are Working Groups and what do they aim to achieve?
The main objective of the CLACSO Working Groups is the creation of interdisciplinary networks of researchers, linked with public policy decision-makers and representatives of social organizations, grouped around social issues and problems relevant to Latin America and the Caribbean and capable of developing relevant, rigorous and collaborative comparative social research with a regional perspective from the Global South.
Thus, the Working Groups constitute spaces for research, training, exchange, and cooperation among researchers from diverse fields within the social sciences, humanities, and arts, and those responsible for or managing public policies, social and labor organizations, community and territorial initiatives, and researchers from other disciplines and fields. They are areas of academic cooperation, as well as platforms for the production and management of evidence-based, critical, situated, transformative knowledge with a high impact on policymaking and public debate.
From the Working Groups and the platforms that promote or integrate them, it is hoped to broaden the critical dialogue between the social sciences, the humanities and the arts and the various collective spaces that act in the promotion of public responsibility and the various forms of social intervention in the region with a perspective from the Global South.
For the selection of GTs
Working Groups are selected through public calls for proposals, in which specific thematic proposals are submitted along with a three-year work plan. Applications are evaluated by an International Academic Committee composed of specialists with recognized experience in various thematic fields.
Working Groups must be composed of a minimum of fifteen (15) people, from at least six (6) countries, and affiliated with member centers or institutions associated with the CLACSO institutional network. Once this number is reached, other members may be added, who may or may not be affiliated with the CLACSO network. In forming these groups, it is essential to ensure that their members represent a diversity of countries and regions, including the participation of members from countries that CLACSO prioritizes for strengthening the social sciences, humanities, and arts, primarily Central America and the insular Caribbean.
Likewise, equal gender integration must be guaranteed, the active participation of researchers in training must be encouraged, and intergenerational dialogue must be promoted in the action plan proposed for the period 2026-2028.
The active participation of diverse social, political, and cultural sectors relevant to the Group's work and the dialogues it aims to foster is also encouraged. Compliance with each of these criteria will be assessed during the evaluation process. In this way, the work of the Working Groups also seeks to promote and strengthen exchanges among social organizations, academics, and public policy leaders focused on developing joint action programs.
WHAT IS VALUED IN THIS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS?
As guiding principles, we suggest taking into account the following thematic emphases (not mutually exclusive):
- Geopolitical reconfigurations and multilateralism in transformation: perspectives from the Global South
- Democracies in dispute: horizons, resistances and the construction of alternatives from the public and the common
- Just transitions and contested sovereignties: towards sustainable and inclusive futures from the Global South
- Common knowledge: technologies, Artificial Intelligence, open science and territorial knowledge
- Social movements and activism: resistance, articulations and the construction of the commons
- Feminist thought and action: transformations for the sustainability of life, justice and peace
- Reconfigurations of work and production models: challenges for justice and the sustainability of life
- Migration and human mobility: rights, displacement and disputed policies
- Structural inequalities and distributive justice
- Right to education, public policies and pedagogical alternatives: public policies, inclusion and educational justice
OBJECTIVES
The main objectives that the CLACSO Working Groups Area aims to achieve are:
- To produce knowledge and promote critical, transformative, relevant, rigorous, collaborative and situated social research, with a regional and intersectional perspective.
- To stimulate the formation and consolidation of research networks at the regional and international level with a gender perspective, seeking to influence the social agenda and to build bridges between academia and public policies based on the dialogue of knowledge.
- To promote dialogue between scientific fields and disciplines and the recognition of diverse knowledge and forms of understanding.
- Promote regional and comparative research with innovative approaches on topics of relevance to Latin American and Caribbean societies linked to a Global South perspective.
- Facilitate connections with public policy decision-makers at the local, national, and regional levels, stimulating horizontal dialogue between researchers and incorporating social organizations as key actors in research and social transformation processes and in the dialogues that are generated.
- To disseminate the knowledge produced and the results achieved through different formats and languages (printed, digital, audiovisual), guaranteeing open access to the knowledge produced, following the principles of open science and allowing its more active use and appropriation by public policy managers, social and citizen organizations, the media and the educational system.
EVALUATION AND SELECTION CRITERIA
The main criteria for evaluating and selecting the Working Groups will be the following:
- Relevance, rigor and feasibility of the proposal.
- Regional diversity, especially the inclusion of researchers from the countries that CLACSO prioritizes for the strengthening of social sciences, humanities and arts, mainly Central America, the insular Caribbean, Bolivia and Paraguay, as well as from other regions and continents.
- Gender parity and diversity.
- Incorporation of young people and researchers in training, in order to integrate new generations and promote intergenerational dialogue.

The 88 selected Working Groups comprise 5.492 members from 44 countries. Of these, 19 are new proposals and 69 are existing Working Groups reapplying.
Secondly, the following integrations and convergences between GTs are recommended, with the intention of producing synergies that recover the contributions and potential expressed in these proposals:
- That the proposal “Comparative social inequalities: social classes, gender and ethnicity”, coordinated by Mirlena Rojas Piedrahita and Paula Boniolo, be integrated with the approved Working Group “Inequalities and social change” coordinated by Iliana Yaschine, Jesica Plá and Sofía Vanoli.
- That the proposal “Exodus of cultural matrices”, coordinated by Amaurys Giordano Pérez, Margarita Mercedes Moll Marte and Susana Betsabeth Diaz Aponte be integrated with the approved Working Group “Antiracism and Afro-descendants in the Global South” coordinated by Federico Fernando Pita.
