AICE has excellent relations with various Spanish and non-Spanish universities, in many of which it helps to teach courses, gives presentations on the profession, and participates on their examination boards.

As the main point of reference for the profession in Spain, we try to give final-year students a few pointers to help them towards their future careers. We explain that they must be self-critical, having a realistic view of their own potential, whilst encouraging them to prepare conferences conscientiously. We warn them against accepting conferences beyond their capacities, above all to avoid burning themselves out before they have established themselves, but also because it is important for them to ensure that, however inexperienced they may be, their activities can help to make the profession they are thinking of joining ever more highly respected. Our idea is that they should understand what the profession is about before rather than after t hey start working in it.
