In case service learning is done as part a final dissertation, the project is designed to do research about social and educational problems that are relevant for the community. Those are research and production projects that have been previously agreed with social agents and have the aim to solve social problems contributing to generate basic theretical knowledge.

In case service learning is done as an internship, there is an agreement with a social organization, the administration or other institutions that accept university students to develop service learning projects in some knowledge fields.
