Study in Catalonia The University and Research System The University and Research CatalONIA Situated in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, Catalonia covers an area of approximately 32,000 km2 and has a population of over seven million inhabitants. Politically, Catalonia has the status of an autonomous community within Spain, with its capital being Barcelona, and has its own governing institution, the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia). It also has its own language, Catalan, which has official status along with Spanish. As they are both official languages, they may be used for all public and private activities. In general, the people of Catalonia are bilingual. In the shade of the Pyrenees and bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, Catalonia has been marked by the passing of numerous cultures, with a historical heritage recognised by the UNESCO (such as Parc Güell, Palau de la Música Catalana, the Sagrada Família, the monastery of Poblet, the Romanesque churches of La Vall de Boí and the archaeological sites of Tarraco, present-day Tarragona) and a geography in which one can travel from the sea to high peaks in little less than an hour. The life and customs of the Catalans are influenced by the region’s varied landscape, culture and art, all bathed in Mediterranean sunlight. Catalonia has a public body, the Agency for Quality Assurance abbreviation) in 2008, a roadmap for research and innovation for THE UNIVERSITY in the Catalan University System (AQU Catalonia), whose aim is the next 15 years.

    University of Lleida (ES) – Summary

    Continuing Education at the University of Lleida (ES) – Summary 1. History The university was created in 1300 by the king Jaume II with the idea to increase Catalonia’s power in the Mediterranean area. Students from other parts of Spain went to Lleida and the commerce and manufacture (paper and books in particular) increased considerably. Lleida became a center of exchange and diffusion of ideas and scientific innovation. Wars with other countries and internal issues put the university in a period of decline. The Spanish reform created a new model of university and in 1717 a new university was formed in Cervera which implied the closing down of the University of Lleida as such. In 1991 the Catalan Parliament approved the opening of the University of Lleida again. Lleida is the most important city in the interior of Catalonia with 120000 inhabitants and about 10000 students. The university has 5 campuses. 2. Continuing Education at the University of Lleida The Statutes of the university establish the improvement of teaching and the contribution to lifelong learning in order to develop social cohesion, equality of opportunities and quality of life. One of the university’s objectives is the development of continuing education programmes under very strict quality parameters. Continuing education is understood as all those courses that have as main objective to upgrade knowledge in any form as well as the development of personal and professional competences. The main characteristic of the continuing education at the university is its thematic diversity, that implies a complementary education in the basic education of Bachelor degree and it has been thought in a global way for those interested to improve their professional and cultural qualifications.

Specifically, it studies the spread of these ideas in Spain in the late 18th and early 19th century. To do this, the above on this matter is investigated in the two editions that Alonso José Ortiz made of that work. In addition, their influence is discussed in the first Spanish edition of the Treaty of Political Economy by Jean Baptiste Say, translated by José Maria Queipo de Llano y Ruiz de Sarabia, 7th Count of Toreno. It should be remembered that it was a reference work for academic training in the chairs of political economy. In 1807, Plan Caballero, created in the Faculties of Law. Finally, it explains the influence that had the Smithian approach on this issue in the work of Ramón Lazaro de Dou y de Bassóls and Edualdo Jaumeandreui Triter. Keywords: money, teaching economics, classical school This paper is a study on the evolution of the concept of money in the principal text books used for teaching economics from the mid-eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Handbook of Genovesi, Condorcert, Smith, Herrenschwand, Canard, Say, Dou, and Jaumeandreu are studied in the following sections. The Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith, is a land mark in modern economics.
  • The University of Lleida Has Its Roots in the Estudi General De Lleida

    The University of Lleida Has Its Roots in the Estudi General De Lleida

    The University of Lleida has its roots in the Estudi General de Lleida, which was created in 1300 by virtue of a charter granted to the city of Lleida by King Jaume II of Aragon. He based his decision on a papal bull issued in Rome on 1st April 1297, by Pope Boniface VIII. With the birth of the Estudi General, a university neighbourhood grew up in Lleida with students arriving from all over the Kingdom of Aragon and many other regions. As happens nowadays, this breathed new life into the city. However, the students and professors formed a community with special privileges and immunities. The parish church of Saint Martin became established as the university’s venue for solemn ceremonies, and it received financial backing from the municipality and the Cathedral Chapter. Despite the flourishing times that the University of Lleida experienced until the first half of the 16th century, its situation became more complicated with growing competition from the new universities that were being created in other territories in the kingdom. The schools of the Estudi General de Lleida managed to maintain the prestige they had acquired over time despite the Estudi having lost the exclusivity and hegemony bestowed on it through its privileged foundation charter. From the second half of the 17th century, a period of decadence began that would continue until the reign of Philip V in the 18th century. After the War of the Spanish Succession, the Bourbon reformers decided to create a new university model in Catalonia. The small town of Cervera, some 70 kilometres east of Lleida was chosen as the location for a new university to thank the town for its support to Philip V, who Lleida and Barcelona had opposed from the outset of the war.

    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

Vilasojana Universitat Pompeu Fabra [email protected] abstract Jaume Balmes and Ramon Martí are certainly the most profound of the Catalan thinkers in the first half of the 19th century. This work shows some of the keys to contextualize their contributions, using the influences they received as a starting point. The basic objective of the comparison is to show that, although they come from similar sources, their positions in regard to combining tradition and modernity are different. The analysis ends with a paradox: Balmes, a more noted philosopher, did not enjoy the same level of direct influence as Martí d’Eixalà. keywords Ramon Martí d’Eixalà, Jaume Balmes, XIXth education. In this article we present the figures of Jaume Balmes and Ramon Martí d’Eixalà in their historic and cultural context, to try to highlight their simi- larities and differences in the framework of Catalan thinking in the first half of the XIXth. century. The two most relevant intellectuals of the epoch had very different impacts on the development of Catalan philosophy. Martí d’Eixalà was a sort of Albertus Magnus, a teacher of important thinkers and author of a work which tried to give a new orientation to the ideas of the epoch, with the novelty of the time, which in the XIIIth.
