I would like to thank the IASSCS Board for selecting our city and our university to be the site for this biennial conference. We are honored to be your hosts for this wonderful event and we welcome you to Spain. We hope that while you are here, you have an opportunity to experience our rich culture and wonderful art, music and of course, our cuisine! As our opening panel will present, in the past forty years with the arrival of democracy to Spain, sexuality has become a primary arena for obtaining rights, freedom and personal fulfillment. Yet, in the recent history of our country, many Spaniards have experienced the extent to which sexuality is also is a means for repression and social control of minds and bodies. In the last decades, Spain has assumed a leading role both domestic and internationally in recognizing sexual rights for women, sexual minorities and for the population in general. We owe this in major part to the implementation of various laws and public policies that place gender and sexual equality at center stage. Still, our country is far from being a paradise for equality, as the domain of sexuality continues to be the battleground around issues of equality and inequality and as well, progress and discrimination, not only in Spain but throughout the world. The academia and the scientific community are well positioned and retain strategic powers that can effectively contribute to overcoming this situation. Over the next few days, this community will come together to report on research focused on the way sexual inequalities are constructed and questioned, and to reflect on the ways to more effectively promote equality. We will share and discuss our findings, our approaches, and our lessons learned in the promotion of sexual equality in academia and advocacy venues. IASSCS Conferences have traditionally been an important and strategic place for bringing together academics, advocates and activists, given that our Association is primarily concerned with the need to create sufficient spaces for mutual collaborative efforts and enrichment. In this VIII Conference we have put a strong emphasis on integrating the work of policy makers, not only in the discussions that will take place, but more importantly in identifying the solutions and the means to confront and overcome inequality. In that light, we have accepted abstracts and presentations both in English and in Spanish, with the objective of more effectively promoting the exchange of viewpoints and experiences among local and global participants. With more than 400 delegates, we are proud to report that this is the largest IASSCS Conference ever. Despite the huge economic crisis Spain is and has been experiencing (and will for the foreseeable future), we have managed to organize and enact this conference. We would first like to thank our funders for their generous support and also, many thanks goes to the IASSCS Secretariat for all its support and effort. On behalf of the International and Local Organizing Committee, together with a great executive team, we hope that all of our effort during the last 18 months will provide you with 4 a wonderful experience and a very productive conference. We sincerely hope that you enjoy this conference and we are certain that we will all learn many new lessons from the presentations
