CLACSO's Platforms for Social Dialogue (PSD-Plataformas para el Di¨¢logo Social) enable and promote multi-stakeholder exchanges between the academic community, civil society organizations and public policymakers in order to co-produce knowledge, build capacities that recognize the power of social activism, and influence both public policies and the transformation of the realities of the most vulnerable communities and territories. 

As one example, the International Forum "Social Dialogue for Equality and Human Rights" was co-organised by the Platform for Social Dialogue ¡°Democracy, Human Rights and Peace¡± of CLACSO and the Vice-Ministry for Social Dialogue, Equality and Human Rights of Colombia, headed by Lilia Solano Ram¨ªrez. More than 1,300 people attended the forum, with international guests from Latin America, Europe, North America, social leaders from all over the region and public policy makers.

At present, the following Platforms for Social Dialogue (PDS) are active:

1. Inequalities and poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean.
2. Rights, violence and gender equality.
3. Migrations and human mobility.
4. Reconfigurations of work in today's world: subjects, organizations and processes.
5. Democracy, Human Rights and peace.
6. Social movements and activism in Latin America and the Caribbean.
7. Right to Education.
8. Environment, climate change and social development

Each Platform for Social Dialogue proposal may have thematic, regional or geographical focus, unique articulations and formats. The PSD have components linked to the areas of Research, Training, Communication and Publication which are open access.  

Researchers participating in the PSD are members of CLACSO's working groups. Responsible research assessment principles are present in the call for CLACSO's working groups, in particular through criteria of equity, diversity and inclusion and through the incorporation of more qualitative assessments of research. Equal gender representation is pursued, alongside efforts to stimulate the participation of young researchers and researchers from countries with less developed research capacities.
