CEISAL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Council for Social Research on Latin America (CEISAL, for its Spanish name "Consejo Europeo de Investigaciones Sociales sobre América Latina) is a scientific association that brings together 35 research institutes, university faculties and other organizations in 16 European countries that study Latin American affairs.
The CEISAL is a non-profit scientific association. Its main objectives are the contribution to research work, the production of knowledge through research and the recognition of the work that social science does to better understand the social, political and economic development of the Latin American region. All of the above is possible thanks to the close collaboration among its members, as well as with organizations and institutes in Latin America.
The main bodies of CEISAL are the General Assembly, composed of the member institutes/associations, and the Board of Directors, elected by the General Assembly and composed of a maximum of nine members. Both bodies meet annually, either physically or online. According to the statutes, the Steering Committee elects the Presidency of CEISAL for a period of three years. The current chair is held by Francisco Sánchez of the University of Salamanca in Spain.
Every three years CEISAL organizes an international congress. For more information, see list below.
