Welcome to Research and Beyond

    This website has been born from an idea and understanding that the Internet and social media are powerful communication tools that are informational, expressive and participatory.With this in mind, this site has been designed to be part of a process in creating a better synergy between research and practice through finding an appropriate way of linking different ideas and perspectives.

    The site is structured around my personal and professional interests and experience. It is intended the blog page be a free space for dialogue, the sharing of ideas and experiences between many and diverse actors (you).

    I very much hope you find the material and discussions both insightful and constructive and look forward to engaging with you personally in some interesting discussions.
