Abstract
In this contribution I present the main research activities of the IAC ``Stellar Populations in Galaxies'' research Group, with emphasis on the subtopics directly related with the study of the evolution of nearby galaxies. In particular, I discuss preliminary results of ongoing research on the Magellanic Clouds using deep ground-based observations, and on a sample of isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies, using data from the ACS on board the HST. Future plans with the GTC are discussed.
