Introduction
The objective of this Conference is to publicize the recently created Society of Spanish Researchers in France (SIEF), created to facilitate communication between the scientific community present in France and promote scientific dissemination.
At the end of 2017, a group of Spanish researchers in France began to shape a community that sought not only to facilitate the installation of Spanish researchers who had recently arrived in France, but also to promote bridges between research organizations and institutions and companies. Spanish and French. The official foundation of the association took place on June 7, 2018, with the registration as a non-profit society whose main objectives are:
– Serve as support for researchers and scientists recently arrived in France in terms of accommodation, bureaucracy, social security, taxes, etc.
– Disseminate and give visibility to the studies carried out by Spanish researchers in France both inside and outside the country.
– Promote international relations and cooperation between researchers and organizations, both public and private.
We are currently working on various aspects focused on consolidating SIEF as a point of reference for Spanish researchers in France, among which are the signing of collaboration agreements with public and private institutions in and between France and Spain; the creation of spaces for the exchange of information such as social networks and the website; and the implementation of a membership system that allows SIEF to function autonomously without directly depending on the different public and private institutions.
