Dear readers, it is with great pleasure that we present volume 9, number 4, of 2024 of the Diversitas Journal, whose central theme is “Education, Scientific Research and Social Development”. This volume brings together articles that explore the intersection between education and science as drivers of social development. Education, as a fundamental pillar of society, is analyzed from different perspectives, highlighting the importance of pedagogical innovation and digital inclusion for the formation of critical and participatory citizens, in a multi and interdisciplinary manner.

Scientific research, in turn, is approached as a crucial element for the advancement of knowledge and the solution of complex problems that affect contemporary society. The articles in this volume discuss everything from the application of new technologies in education to the importance of interdisciplinary research for sustainable development. Science, when combined with education, has the power to transform realities, promoting more equitable and inclusive social development.

Social development is treated as a goal to be achieved through the integration of education and science. The authors present case studies and theoretical analyses, as well as results of applied research, which demonstrate how effective educational policies and investments in scientific research can generate positive impacts on society. This volume of the Diversitas Journal is essential reading for educators, researchers and policy makers who seek to understand and promote social development through education and science. It also brings together the various areas of knowledge and their interdisciplinary congruences.
