Real Colegio Complutense

The Real Colegio Complutense is an academic center at Harvard University that coordinates research and teaching programs between Spanish and American institutions. The facility houses offices, classrooms, and meeting spaces used by scholars and students from both countries.

The center was founded in 1990 as the first institution of its kind in the United States dedicated to promoting Spanish academic excellence. Its establishment marked the beginning of a structured partnership between Harvard and Spanish universities.

The center brings together scholars from Spain and the United States for collaborative research and academic exchange. Visitors can observe this international partnership in action through the different offices and spaces where researchers work side by side.

The center is located near Harvard Square, with administrative offices currently housed in a building on Story Street while the main facility undergoes renovation. Visitors should check ahead to confirm current access conditions and exact hours, as the location situation is in transition.

The center oversees a large portfolio of academic projects and scholarships that have supported hundreds of researchers and students from both countries. This support has helped develop significant research work across different disciplines that have shaped collaboration between Harvard and Spain.
