The Research Center in Communication and Humanities (CIComH) was created for the purpose of developing research activities in the fields of communication and humanities, as well as offering specialized training, disseminating knowledge, and providing advanced services, in response to the challenges of the information society and the needs of the Bolivian context.

CIComH develops projects related to the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the analysis of social phenomena. Its research focus is predominantly qualitative and transdisciplinary, and it is framed within areas such as cultural studies, media analysis, political communication, and the philosophy of technology.
