La Junta para Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas en el Centenario de su creación

The Junta para Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas (JAE) was, from its very beginnings in 1907, a new feature in the Spanish educational scene. Its efforts towards a national regeneration in the Sciences as well as the Humanities along its thirty years of existence would allow our outstanding personalities to reach levels of international acknowledgment very close to the most important international figures. Inspired in its spirit, since its origins until its final end, by the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (ILE), it became a real University, supported by the Nation but completely independent from the remaining public Universities. Its autonomous nature allowed scientific research of the highest level, and conducted a complete pedagogical transformation in every discipline cultivated in its dependencies. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
