As a member of the research group, she has been part of the work team of several monographic projects, all focused on the religious diversity in Catalonia and specific to the Catholic Church. The preparation and dissemination of the Religious Map of Catalonia, funded by the Directorate General for Religious Affairs of the Generalitat of Catalonia, has been one of her main tasks within the framework of the research group. Interested in the dissemination of religious, spiritual and conviction in general, she has published many articles and some books, and has also directed audiovisual documents aimed at communicating this reality.
