The town council of the Catalan municipality of Sant Celoni has charged the Gabinet d'Estudis Socials with the elaboration of a diagnosis system for poverty, vulnerability and exclusion in this locality. This comprises two tasks: a report about these phenomena and the elaboration of a handbook that allows this inicial diagnosis to be replicated in the future. 

This year, the Gabinet d'Estudis Socials will carry out a new research for the CEPAIM Foundation about the settlements of persons and familiies in a situation of social urgency in a number of Spanish localities and regions. 

Between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, the Gabinet d'Estudis Socials has carried out a research for the town council of the Catalan municipality of Martorelles about the image of the two primary education schools in the municipality and the low level of school enrolment. 

During 2018 and 2019 the Gabinet d'Estudis Socials will carry out a specific evaluation of the Operación Adelante project. This is a project for the labour integration of disadvantaged women that the CEPAIM Foundation has in a number of Spanish areas. The aim of this specific evaluation is to measure the importance in terms of employability of the psychological care that some of these women have received as compared with other women who have not.
