Founded in 1907 by the eminent Catalan nationalist, politician, author and lawyer Enric Prat de la Riba i Sarrà (1870 – 1917), the prestigious Institute for Catalan Studies publishes and fosters research in a number of fields, such as linguistics, history, sociology, philology, etc., primarily in the humanities and social sciences.
