Open groups

It is about operational groups that are promoted Tabakalera to research on specific topics. The objective is to generate knowledge, design projects and strengthen the community. Thus, the working groups connect us with reality by detecting the agents and needs that take part in the community. In addition to proposing projects, the working groups generate knowledge and articulate a program of activities related to their line of work.
