This paper is organized in three parts: the first one proposes a matrix for theoretical abstraction and social transformation that encompasses five moments or phases of work?knowledges, territories, outlooks, territorial intelligence and transformation?to be applied in concrete projects within a scenario of new scientific challenges for the co-construction of social and humanistic sciences more committed to identities, needs and expectations; the second part refers to the application of this proposal at Minas and Lavalleja, Uruguay; whilethe last part poses some initial dialogs with Boaventura de Sousa Santos´s Epistemologies of the South and Erik Oling Wright´s Emancipatory Social Science, concluding with some hypotheses related to the future of collective scientific research for a Theory of Transformation with Territorial Intelligence via Socio-Ecologic Transition.
