The Euroarab Foundation for Higher Studies has its origins in the agreement reached by the European Parliament in 1984 for the creation of the Euroarab University. On 10th October 1995 the Euroarab Foundation for Higher Studies was set up, an institution unique in the international arena due to its composition and its mission: to create a space for dialogue and cooperation between the countries of the EU and those of the League of Arab States.

Situated in the city of Granada, a historical reference point in relations between Europe and the Arab world, the Foundation is governed by a joint Board of Trustees composed of a representative of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, a representative of the Andalucía´s Government and a representative of Granada´s University. The Board of Trustees is presided over by the Spanish Secretary of State for Universities and Research.

Through its activities, the Foundation aims to dedicate all its efforts to promoting Euro-Arab cooperation, supporting academic and cultural activities and disseminating new ideas and trends in Science and Humanities.

By means of collaboration agreements, the Foundation maintains relations with more than thirty educational, cultural, research and economic institutions.
