Generating Ideas

1
Seminars. FAES organises seminars for a restricted number of people — whether experts, professors, businessmen or politicians — which take place behind closed doors. One speaker introduces a topic which is discussed by the people present. Their conclusions are then used by the Foundation, which sometimes publishes them electronically or on paper.
2
Research. FAES commissions specialists to write monographic research reports on different subjects of interest. Their conclusions are sometimes published by the Foundation. Sometimes, research is carried out in collaboration with other important think tanks from both sides of the Atlantic.
3
FAES Economic Observatory. The aim of this forum is to analyse Spanish economy, its situation, outlook, and its economic policies. The experts comprising this Observatory meet on a regular basis. The Observatory group includes academics and highly reputed professionals from the field of economics. The Economic Observatory is presided by Juan Velarde, Prince of Asturias for Social Sciences laureate and Trustee of the Foundation.
4
FAES Centre for Latin American Studies. This centre, which has its origin on the work carried out by the Foundation on Latin America, functions like an observatory. The work of this centre is supported by the principles defended by the Foundation. FAES thinks that our common values establish Latin America as an essential part of the western community and that democracy, political and economic freedom, and the rule of Law pave the only legitimate road to accomplish the full development of Latin American nations.
