Catalina Morfin

I am Catalina Morfin actualy the Provost for Accademics Affairs at ITESO University, (Jesuit University, www.iteso.mx), located in Guadalajara, Mexico. I as well collaborate as the President of the Mexican Board of Graduate Studies (http://www.comepo.org.mx/).
As a a member of the network of Jesuit universities’ system in Mexico (www.suj.org.mx), my university is very interested in promoting a discussion with the authorities of the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology about the importance of including social impact indicators in its evaluation systems on research and graduate studies, and not only indexed production.
I consider that social science and humanities’ are offering a relevant and pertinent perspective for enhancing the assessment of research, innovation and graduate studies in Mexico, with an emphasis on their advocacy, oriented to the social transformation in order to move toward an authentic sustainable development.
