Abstract

The following pages present the aspects that, in the author’s opinion, constitute the essential elements that give meaning to the life and activity of a Scientific Society: national Conferences of a particular field, the existence of a scientific journal to help spread the specialized knowledge both in teaching and research, and having a Newsletter through which members of the Society exchange information on its activities and initiatives. With that frame as a reference point the most relevant information, on what has happened in the period of the Presidency (2010-2014) in the Spanish Society of Comparative Education, is presented. To come to an end, the author reflects upon some of the challenges which should be addressed in the short to medium term once consolidated the achievements of the Society over the last twenty five years.
