Institute of Catalan Studies

The Institute of Catalan Studies (IEC) is a scholarly organization dedicated to researching, promoting, and standardizing the Catalan language and culture. Founded in 1911, it plays a key role in compiling linguistic dictionaries, grammar rules, and cultural resources to preserve Catalonia's linguistic heritage. Its work supports not only academic studies but also the usage of Catalan in media, education, and public life. The IEC aims to foster a deeper understanding of Catalan identity and ensure the language's vitality for future generations.
