Research and Innovation Forum 2023
This book features research presented and discussed during the Research & Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2023. As such, this book offers a unique insight into emerging topics, issues and developments pertinent to the fields of technology, innovation and education and their social impact. Papers included in this book apply inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches to query such issues as technology-enhanced teaching and learning, smart cities, information systems, cognitive computing and social networking. What brings these threads of the discussion together is the question of how advances in computer science—which are otherwise largely incomprehensible to researchers from other fields—can be effectively translated and capitalized on so as to make them beneficial for society as a whole. In this context, Rii Forum and Rii Forum proceedings offer an essential venue where diverse stakeholders, including academics, the think tank sector and decision-makers, can engage in a meaningful dialogue with a view to improving the applicability of advances in computer science.
Research and Innovation Forum 2021
This book features research presented and discussed during the Research and Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2021. The Covid-19 pandemic and its social, political, and economic implications had confirmed that a more thorough debate on these issues and topics was needed. For this reason, the Rii Forum 2021 was devoted to the broadly defined question of the short- and long-term impact of the pandemic on our societies. This volume serves as an essential resource to understand the diverse ways in which Covid-19 impacted our societies, including the capacity to innovate, advances in technology, the evolution of the healthcare systems, business model innovation, the prospects of growth, the stability of political systems, and the future of education.

Higher Education Institutions and Covid-19
Offering insights into the adaptational strategies that were employed by higher education institutions worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic, this volume considers the lasting effects of adaptation and change, as well as the perception of universities’ role in society and desired ways of operating. Nearly overnight, the pandemic forced university leaders and faculty across the world to switch to remote models, not only of teaching and learning but also of managing an entire institution. This book recognizes how the scale of challenges as well as the range of measures specific universities had to undertake was uneven, with some being better equipped than the others. Using a selection of in...
Sociedad, familia, formación
Este texto, pensado como material introductorio al estudio de la Sociología de la Educación, lleva a cabo un análisis de los principales actores implicados en el proceso formativo de los miembros de las sociedades contemporáneas, así como de las dinámicas y tendencias de estructuración y cambio social en que dichos agentes han de operar. A través de los distintos capítulos del libro, se van tejiendo las conexiones entre diversas esferas que dan forma a los sistemas educativos actuales, enfatizando sus anclajes sociohistóricos y el modo en que contribuyen a configurar un proceso de socialización que perfila un tipo humano concreto, inextricablemente unido al momento social de la é...
Investigando en contenidos de vanguardia
La Universidad se encuentra en pleno progreso desde su tiempo cero; de hecho, halla su carta de naturaleza en la necesidad de mejorar el medio que la nutre y por y para el que existe: la sociedad.

La nueva Academia es poliédrica, ínter y multi disciplinar, dialógica y colab...

Les mutacions socials de la COVID-19
El llibre que us presentem és el resultat final del projecte de recerca titulat Impacte social de la covid-19: una mirada multidisciplinària, coordinat per Andreu Domingo i Valls i Mercè Barceló i Serramalera, elaborat en el si de la Secció de Filosofia i Ciències Socials de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans, i patrocinat per aquesta institució. El primer resultat del projecte fou l’informe Impacte social de la covid-19. Una mirada multidisciplinària (Barcelona: SFCS, IEC https://covid-19.iec.cat/). Ara, complementàriament, en volem oferir una versió de caràcter divulgatiu, més breu, per tal de poder arribar a tot tipus de lector. Es mantenen, però, les dues notes que revaloritzen aquesta obra col·lectiva: la mirada multidisciplinària sobre un mateix objecte, i el prendre com a punt de referència els territoris de parla catalana.
