Open Access Repositories
EUROsociAL is a cooperation programme financed by the European Union that has been running for 15 years. Its aim is to contribute to the improvement of public policies that promote social cohesion in Latin America through the transfer of knowledge of best practices between counterpart institutions in Europe and Latin America.
In the 15 years of the programme, EUROsociAL has generated a catalogue of publications of close to 400 products, which is available free of charge. This material has been prepared with a vision of knowledge management, which allows for the use of experiences, best practices, mappings, methodologies, application guides and innovations in public policies to promote social cohesion.
We are expanding the channels of access to the EUROsociAL Library by linking it to open, specialised and high-quality digital repositories of information, so that they can contribute to the exhibition of this documentary heritage in order to promote its reuse and appropriation by interested audiences. We thank these open networks of specialised knowledge, to which the EUROsociAL Programme subscribes, for contributing to disseminating the programme's legacy.
