• Twenty-first century security agenda reform

Calvo Rufanges has actively participated in AGAUR-funded research consortia as a core team member, demonstrating sustained engagement in collaborative security studies. His project portfolio reveals consistent thematic evolution toward practical policy applications:

• GLOBALCODES (2022-2025): Investigating globalization-conflict-development-security interdependencies under AGAUR grant
• Seguridad e inseguridad en las fronteras (2019-2020): Empirical analysis of border security policy implementation
• Desecuritizar la agenda de seguridad internacional (2018-2019): Developing counter-narratives for state/OI security frameworks
• GLOBALCODES (2017-2021): Foundational phase establishing security-development research parameters

No scientific awards or student advising activities are documented in available sources, though his recurring role as researcher in multi-investigator projects indicates significant contributions to collective grant outcomes. His work remains anchored in the GLOBALCODES research group's ongoing mission to reframe security paradigms through interdisciplinary collaboration.
