The Department offers various courses and advice to do the research work each year: help is provided to determine the approach, work methodology, bibliography, resources and, in certain topics, access to the university infrastructure.

The proposed theme for the 2023-2024 academic year is Climate change and denialism:

Despite the growing scientific consensus on the existence and inevitability of an environmental crisis of human origin, there are still people, collectives who do not believe it and who press by different means to impose their denialist discourse. Perhaps they are not many, perhaps yes, but they take advantage of certain media platforms (digital press, social networks, political parties, also scientists) to spread their message and hinder, delay, the adoption of measures that can mitigate the impacts of this crisis.

This paper aims to analyze this phenomenon, with an investigation of its reasons, main arguments, main "actors" at national level, as well as a prospection of what could be the trend in the short and medium term future (perhaps in the long term we will no longer be in time).
