Plataforma de Acción, Gestión e Investigación Social S.A.S.

PLAGCIS — Plataforma de Acción, Gestión e Investigación Social S.A.S. — is a Colombian interdisciplinary organization that promotes the integration of academia, research and social action in Latin America. According to its official website, it was founded in June/July 2020 and legally registered as a Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada (S.A.S.) in April 2023. Its stated purpose is to articulate professionals from different fields around the generation of sustainable, inclusive and collaborative solutions. The organization began as a small network of academics and social-science professionals founded by Daniel Roman Acosta, Alexandra Analuisa, Renata Mantilla and María Jacome. Over time it incorporated experts and mentors in various areas, expanding its capacity to offer specialized advice and personalized mentoring, and integrating emerging educational technologies to reach a broader and more diverse audience. It is committed to the objectives of the 2030 Agenda and promotes virtual and in-person spaces for continuous learning, applied research and the strengthening of volunteer and social advocacy networks. PLAGCIS offers specialized consulting and advisory services for social and community projects, as well as scientific publications — academic journals, research reports and practical guides. Its value proposition emphasizes borderless visibility for researchers through an active presence in Latin America and strategic alliances with international academic networks; professional excellence and accompaniment through peer review, editorial advice, bibliographic management tools and scientific-writing support; and networks that strengthen impact by fostering exchange among researchers through events, mentorships and joint projects. The platform reports an active presence in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela and Argentina, and says it has established strategic alliances with universities, civil-society organizations and public and private entities. Its logo carries symbolic meaning: eight spheres, seven of them blue, representing the groups, organizations and people that form the active network, and one orange sphere representing new voices joining the collective dialogue or the transformative opinion that mobilizes new ideas. Wikidata identifies the company as being located in Sincelejo, Colombia.
