  Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations

  The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)

  The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of  socialist trade unions.

  Plural innovations

  Ce cycle de conférences a pour objectif de créer un lieu d'échange interdisciplinaire (sciences humaines et sociales, sciences du vivant, sciences de l'ingénieur, informatique) autour de projets innovants et d'avancées technologiques d'importance. Les conférences programmées interrogent la notion d'« innovation », une notion dont la définition restera volontairement ouverte pour permettre l'expression de points de vue concurrents et d'analyses plurielles.
