International Catalan cultural societies are academic associations that bring together experts and scholars of Catalan language and culture from different countries with the aim of representing, promoting and disseminating Catalan language and culture by carrying out a diverse range of activities in the fields of language, literature and culture.
These societies promote various projects that are designed to foster research on Catalan language and culture (grants for students and young researchers, prizes, etc.), the findings of which are disseminated through seminars, symposia and scientific journals. In addition, they encourage cooperation with other institutions and associations that share similar interests.
