This paper presents an approach about research utilization in the decision making and the policy process, as well as in other social practices. The main findings show that social research has influence beyond the academic context and observes diverse modalities: inclusion of ideas in the public debate; decision making; policy evaluation; change and improvement of some practices. In addition, the exercise represents a contribution for the corresponding research agenda.
