The immediate goal of this international group was to carry out research projects funded by the then Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology and the European Regional Development Fund (BFF2000-1271, BFF2000-0492) and by the Xunta de Galicia (PGIDIT03PXIC20403PN), the Autonomous Government of Galicia. These projects were concerned with describing the orthographic, phonetic-phonological and grammatical characteristics of the English language, as well as with characterizing difficulties in the acquisition of discourse structures in English as a Second Language (especially by native speakers of Spanish and Galician). The projects have run from 2000 to 2018 and have been evaluated extremely favourably. Besides these projects, other research projects have been uninterruptedly awarded to the SCIMITAR team for over one decade by different institutions (cf. below under \u00bb SCIMITAR Funding\u00bb and \u00abOther Funding\u00bb). The collaborators in the projects work together with face-to-face meetings in various locations, but the main tools for this joint effort are e-mail and other electronic forms of communication\/cooperation. This academic work has continued, leading to further favourable evaluations and awards of research funding. It has resulted in a large number of publications. In the period since 2002 the members of the group have published:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More than 30 books<\/li>\n<li>More than 200 articles<\/li>\n<li>More than 20 reviews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the SCIMITAR group was responsible for the organization of three editions of the \u00abInternational Contrastive Linguistics Conference\u00bb (ICLC), which were held in Santiago de Compostela in 2001, 2003 and 2005, and the group still plays an advisory role with respect to more recent ICLCs, which have been held in other locations.
