Documenta

DOCUMENTA, the European Institute for Studies for Training and Development, is a nonprofit organization focused on applied social research. Founded in 1996, it works to help design and build Smart and Responsible Territories, advancing sustainable communities that place people and nature at the center of economic thinking. Its work connects European perspectives with local action, guided by priorities including the UN 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, cultural diversity and social inclusion, citizen participation, gender equality, poverty reduction, health, education, and the wellbeing of children.

DOCUMENTA develops and coordinates European, cooperation, and local projects, and shares research and practical learning through publications, news, and virtual environments. Its initiatives address topics such as energy culture, digital literacy and misinformation, family digital wellbeing, poverty and social exclusion, women’s active citizenship, and the integration of people from non-EU countries. Recent projects include Erasmus+ Participatory Energy Culture Schools and TackleDisInfo. Through training, collaboration, and applied research, DOCUMENTA supports social innovation and the development of more inclusive, sustainable, and responsible territories.
