Based on these approaches, the group addresses different topics aimed at studying understanding of the Franco regime and the management of its memor in greater depth. Conceived as a reference group in studies on Francoism that brings together work carried out primarily at the University of Valencia, INTERFRANQ functions as a dynamic platform open to the potential incorporation of new lines of analysis, as well as to establishing synergies and collaborations with other research groups from Spanish and foreign universities and centres also focused on the study of Francoism. INTERFRANQ encompasses different research projects in which its members participate and has a permanent research seminar.
