CRIA and its researchers develop their work under research projects in anthropology and interdisciplinary studies. Most of these projects are funded through public tenders launched by national and international agencies that promote and support scientific research (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, European Commission, Gerda Henkel Foundation, CODESRIA, International Organization for Migration – IOM, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico – CNPq [Brazil], Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación [Spain], Australian Research Council, etc.). Other projects articulate with the national strategies for regional development and benefit from CRIA’s decentralised structure in four universities, resulting from collaborations, commissions and protocols with local and regional museums, municipalities and municipal companies, non-governmental organisations, among others.
Ongoing research projects simultaneously result from and promote CRIA’s engagement in scientific and advanced training networks and programmes, among other forms of collaboration with similar entities, national and foreign. Worth highlighting is CRIA’s accreditation by UNESCO in 2012 as a NGO providing advisory services to the Committee for the Safeguard of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
