The Residencia de Estudiantes (Student Residence), is a centre of Spanish cultural life in Madrid. The Residence was founded in 1910, as a cultural institution that helped foster and create the intellectual environment of Spain's brightest young thinkers, writers, and artists. Some of the most prominent figures of 20th-century Spanish culture emerged from among the residents, including Federico García Lorca, Salvador Dalí, Luis Buñuel and Severo Ochoa.

Today the Residence, among many other roles, organises numerous public events, in which many protagonists of the arts and sciences of the last decades take part. It also develops different research projects following two main lines: the study and dissemination of its historical legacy and the analysis of current intellectual trends in order to explore how our culture is evolving.
