At Linc*G, disciplinary knowledge enters into dialogue with the experience of the territory to build tools that allow us to transform our environment, and ourselves, in the process. We design cutting-edge methodologies in all our projects, always crossed by the perspective of gender, diversities and human rights.

For 20 years at Punctum we have been developing studies for more than 40 companies and institutions in the private sector, multilateral organizations and international cooperation, enjoying well-done research and questions. answered.
2020 encouraged us to find alternative ways to work, research, meet, transfer results and above all it strengthened us to grow. And this expansive force brought us a new challenge: inaugurating the Laboratory for Innovation in Cultures and Genders (Linc*G), where we are committed to diving, researching and providing knowledge that contributes to better futures.
Marked by the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, our studies translate into projects for gender equality; decent work and economic growth; the reduction of inequalities; responsible production and consumption; and the construction of more just and solid institutions.
Our commitment arises from the need to contribute to the necessary changes in communities.
