General Principles
Article 6 The Institute's general guiding principles are that it focuses entirely on development based on sustainability and innovation, especially since it considers these to be expressive driving axes for its undertaking in the information and knowledge society.
Single paragraph. In consonance with the aforementioned axes, the following are the possible structures that will provide its resourcefulness and necessary responsiveness to global demands:
I. The framework for supporting sustainability is based on the main institutionalized documentations at the global level. But, it is desired that it be understood and undertaken necessarily and simultaneously in all dimensions - political, social, economic, environmental and cultural. For, it is believed that when sustainability grounds our thinking in this dimensional circumstance, it considerably enhances our actions, thus becoming sustainable and providers of socio-environmental responsibility.
II. The structure to support innovation has a sustainable ecosystem, which will provide the development of actions and professional activities of national and international researchers in the same environment, including working in a multidisciplinary way in different projects from different areas of knowledge. For, it is believed that when innovation starts to be thought of by independent areas it favors the resizing of projects and signals the necessary disruptive situation, indispensable for its constant evolution and necessary to meet the imminent demands in contemporaneity.
