Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Estudios Norteamericanos "Benjamin Franklin" Home

Instituto Franklin considers American Studies to be an interdisciplinary field of study which allows to acquire a better knowledge pertaining to the territories and communities in all of their aspects which form the North American subcontinent and the area that influences it; paying special attention to the United States.

Instituto Franklin develops and carries out research studies that cover different aspects related to North America; such as History, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Sociology, Arts, Literature, Linguistics, Sciences, and Technology. Instituto Franklin is interested in knowing, analyzing, and interpreting the North American reality, in all of its dimensions, in order to compare them with other realities that focus on identity questions and transatlantic relations, especially Spain-US relations.

Instituto Franklin-UAH funds research projects for creating new research groups and also funds scholarships and financial aids.
