My research focuses on communities, markets, culture, cognition, and environment. Currently, I am doing a PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona about sustainability institutionalization processes and their effects on artisanal fishing communities in central Chile. I use an ethnographic approach and personal network analysis to study the use of ecological information, community relations, social resources, and interactions in local fishing markets. I am currently an academic at the Andrés Bello University (Chile) and part of the EGO-GRAFO group at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

Martin Pérez Fernández, Facultad de ciencias económicas y administración (UdelaR).
This paper presents a construction and descriptive study of the network of organizations that support the cluster of rubber and plastic companies in Montevideo and Canelones. The data was obtained from a series of interviews carried out through field work in the year 2022. Elements belonging to the theory of network analysis and social capital were applied for the construction and understanding of the dynamics and properties of the network. The evidence shows the important role played by the Centro Tecnológico del Plástico (CTplas) in the realization and coordination of activities between organizations in support of the cluster companies.
