The Institute of Spain (IdeE) was constituted as a national corporation as the highest exponent of Spanish culture in the academic order, whose purpose was to maintain and strengthen the spiritual fraternity of the ten Royal National Academies, helping and completing each other for the greater effectiveness of their tasks and activities, forming the superior national academic representation in Spain and abroad.
Royal Decree 404/2020, of February 25, establishes that the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities is responsible for the relationship of the Administration with the Royal Academies, the Academies of national scope and the Institute of Spain (IdeE).
The Royal Academies are centennial institutions that constitute the highest exponent of knowledge and participate, in a particular way, in the promotion of dissemination and scientific culture. From them comes a public interest of undoubted importance, in addition, to the achievement of various objectives that are specific to the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities: the development of culture, education, knowledge and research. Due to the diverse nature of this set of entities, it is also possible to treat a wide variety of subjects in a transversal way.
In accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 1160/2010, of September 17, which regulates the Institute of Spain, various Royal Academies are part of this, among others: Royal Academy of History; Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando; Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences; Royal Academy of Moral and Political Sciences; Royal National Academy of Medicine of Spain; Royal Academy of Jurisprudence and Legislation of Spain; Royal National Academy of Pharmacy; Royal Academy of Engineering, and Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences. Forming these parts of the Institute of Spain, there is no doubt about the relationship of direct dependence that in turn arises between them and the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
