Abstract: We study $Ad{S}_3$ supersymmetric vacua in N=4 and N=8, three dimensional gauged supergravities, with scalar manifolds $(fracSO(4,4)SO(4)imesSO(4){)}^2$ and $fracSO(8,8)SO(8)imesSO(8)$, non-semisimple Chern-Simons gaugings $$ and $$, respectively. These are in turn equivalent to SO(4) and $SO(4)imesSO(4)$ Yang-Mills theories coupled to supergravity. For the N=4 case, we study renormalization group flows between UV and IR $Ad{S}_3$ vacua with the same amount of supersymmetry: in one case, with (3,1) supersymmetry, we can find an analytic solution whereas in another, with (2,0) supersymmetry, we give a numerical solution. In both cases, the flows turn out to be v.e.v. flows, i.e. they are driven by the expectation value of a relevant operator in the dual $SCF{T}_2$. These provide examples of v.e.v. flows between two $Ad{S}_3$ vacua within a gauged supergravity framework.
