Instituto Universitario de Investigación Ortega y Gasset (IUIOG)

Founded in 1986, the Ortega y Gasset University Research Institute (IUIOG) is a postgraduate and research center equivalent, in essence, to the graduate schools of North American universities. It was the first university institute promoted and managed in Spain by a private entity, the José Ortega y Gasset Foundation, and attached to a public university, the Complutense University of Madrid. Its board of trustees is made up of the José Ortega y Gasset-Gregorio Marañón Foundation , the Autonomous Community of Madrid, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation and the Complutense University of Madrid, as well as a select group of academics chosen by consensus.
