Organization

The Objective Of The Participatory Structure

The objective of the participatory structure is to foster interdependence between university researchers and the establishments, as well as amongst the establishments themselves, in order to encourage innovation, the sharing of expertise and the transmission of knowledge. The structure supports research that encourages or brings other sectors (sectoral, intersectoral and community) to invest in the development and improvement of services to persons with an intellectual disability or a pervasive developmental disorder.
