The main purpose of the cooperation between SACRU and CAPPF is to develop common projects and initiatives within the scope of research and education.

The SACRU-CAPPF partnership is based on a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

 

Signed in December 2020 by CAPPF Chair Prof. Anna Maria Tarantola and former SACRU President Prof. Josep Maria Garrell. A Steering Committee of an equal number of members from both parties was established in January 2021. Its main activity is coordinating and giving a strategic direction to common initiatives.

‍A joint interdisciplinary group, whose members are by SACRU Universities and CAPPF, completed the first research work on women’s leadership. The outcome of this project is the volume “More Women’s Leadership for a Better World: Care as a Driver for our Common Home”, which has been published as an e-book and physically in English, Spanish, and Italian by the publishing house Vita e Pensiero. The book has a Preface written by the Holy Father Pope Francis and is edited by Prof. Anna Maria Tarantola. It can be freely downloaded at this link: More Women’s Leadership for A Better World

SACRU and the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation are now starting the second joint research “Artificial Intelligence and Care of Our Common Home: a focus on Industries, Finance and Communication”. This project aims to address the topic of AI from the perspective of the Social Doctrine of the Church, highlighting its ethical aspects, the impact on people and the environment depending on how it is used and managed by industry, finance and the world of communication.
