Collaborate with us
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the EQ-LAB team believes that more researchers and experts in social sciences are needed to study and understand the phenomena that are currently occurring in order to propose solutions to the various problems. More experts are needed to share their knowledge, questions, and uncertainties with the general public. In this way, we can identify what alternatives are available to society. Today, EQ-Lab’s mission is more relevant than ever; therefore, a cordial invitation is extended, open to all of society.
