Resumen:
We present a multiwavelength study of the interstellar medium around the HII region Sh2-54. The millimetric and infrared data allow us to analyze and characterize the molecular gas and dust components, respectively.The emision at  8.0 $\mu$m of {\it Spitzer}-IRAC shows the complex filamentary structure of the photodissociated gas, evidencing the interaction between the HII region and the molecular material. Several young stellar object (YSO) candidates have been detected projected towards Sh2-54 and its surroundings. We analyze if the  presence of these YSO candidates  can be explained by a triggered star formation scenario.
