The Society of Spanish Researchers in the United Kingdom (SRUK/CERU, including the acronym in Spanish, Científicos Españoles en el Reino Unido) is an independent, non-profit organization without any political affiliation, created in July 2011 and formally established in June 2012. SRUK/CERU was created to promote networking among the Spanish researchers working in the United Kingdom, make science and technology more accessible to the general public and establish collaborations between this community and public and private organisations related to R&D, both in Spain and in the United Kingdom.
