Comillas Foundation

Comillas Foundation, established in 2005, is dedicated to promote Spanish language and Hispanic culture.

The academic activities of Comillas Foundation (University Degree in Hispanic Studies and Master in Teaching Spanish as Foreign Language) are developed through the International Center for Higher Spanish Studies (CIESE-Comillas), associated to the University of Cantabria.

Besides that, the foundation provides forums and seminars related with Spanish language and culture.

Until now, the activities of the foundation were held at the Sobrellano Palace, a few hundred yards from the future location, until the restoration of the buildings are concluded.

The current Comillas Foundation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is Mr. Ignacio Gavira Tomás, formerly Head of Administration in the University of La Rioja, and before that, the Director General of Higher Education and Research in the Regional Government of Castile-La Mancha.
