Site's goals
Social Capital Gateway is a personal, non profit, initiative. It is not funded neither
by academic nor by private for profit institutions. My primary goals
are:
• Providing useful resources for researchers, teachers, students,
and practitioners interested in the study of social capital and
other related topics, like poverty and development.
• Promoting discussion and ideas exchange on these topics.
This web site was born as a by-product of my personal research activity,
and of course it cannot be exhaustive. Thus I invite all visitors
to keep me informed on their work and to submit any kind of research material for publication
on this site. Scholars involved in the organisation of conferences
and other initiatives related to social capital are invited to let
me know about these activities. I hope to contribute in giving
them further publicity through this site.
