Scientific research enables observation, understanding, and interpretation of phenomena and complexity. It is the driving force behind ALTIS activities and provides scientific rigor and a focus on new areas of knowledge and the frontier issues of sustainability. The primary objective of basic research is to contribute to the creation of knowledge, better understand the dynamics underlying the phenomena under investigation, and identify possible new models for interpreting reality.
