After a stay in Helsinki with Jaakko Hintikka in the early 1970s, Acero taught a few years at the University of Barcelona, where he provided early LOGOS members Genoveva Martí and Manuel García-Carpintero with a first exposure to analytic philosophy of language, both in undergraduate courses and in informal seminars he organized to feed the interest that his excellent teaching had generated. In the academic year 1978-79 he moved to the University of Granada, where he stayed for the rest of his career and where he was responsible for the creation of another important analytic philosophy group. He was instrumental in the creation of the Spanish Analytic Philosophy Society (SEFA) and served on its boards. In addition to the enormous influence of his teaching and work, we were fortunate he was chosen from very early on to give advice to several Spanish funding agencies, making sure that only scientific criteria had a role in the allocation of funds and job appraisals.
