Instituto de España, Meta-organization for academic coordination in Madrid, Spain
The Institute of Spain coordinates ten royal academies, functioning as a central entity for academic and research activities throughout the Spanish territory.
The organization began operations on January 1, 1938, under Francisco Franco's leadership, taking inspiration from the structure of the Institute of France.
The institute maintains connections between various royal academies, promoting knowledge exchange and scientific advancement across multiple academic disciplines in Spain.
The headquarters at San Bernardo Street in Madrid houses administrative offices and meeting spaces for coordinating activities between member academies.
Each year, a different president is selected from the directors of the member academies, creating a rotating leadership structure among the institutions.
