Foment the Chair’s social function and public service, ensuring it projects university activity in broader areas of social communication and the general public.
Foment integration within our own country and, by extension, Latin America culturally in the current international current of though on science, technology and religion and all the related areas, especially with specialised organisations in the United States.
