One of CIGMAP’s main aims is to make a serious, scientific contribution to several areas related to governance in general, and to political communication and marketing in particular, based on the breadth of vision provided by the academic and professional experience of its extensive network of experts. Its mission is to generate a constant flow of research to improve the quality of its teaching programmes and the efficiency of its consultancy and advisory services.

The research activities of CIGMAP’s network of experts is enhanced further by those students who have obtained official Masters degrees and wish to stay on to do their doctoral theses in the Camilo José Cela University’s Doctorate School. The university provides CIGMAP with the academic tools to carry out research and provides finance for research projects and publishing in the Camilo José Cela University Press.
