This area includes the study of personal, social and economic factors and dynamics that lead to situations of poverty and / or social exclusion, as well as the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies. In line with the multidimensional concept of poverty adopted by the European Union we at notus-asr take a multidisciplinary and rigorous approach, with methodologies that combine quantitative and qualitative methods, including learning from successful experiences.
