This proposal takes as its central axis of analysis the Training-Investigative Think Tank (TT-FI) model in its different modalities, which generally develop academic and research functions, showing themselves especially as universities that foster intellectual elites for the most part, with a multidisciplinary approach oriented particularly to the analysis and generation of public policies, prioritizing for this purpose the pedagogical work, but not limited to the teaching of social sciences. The study is based on a simplified conceptual model that combines the elements that identify the information ecosystems identified and analyzed in 33 TT-FI type centers detected in Latin America. In addition to the analysis of their social and scientific influence, elements of criticism linked to the privileged status for which they are usually pointed out are proposed.
