Palau de Pineda

The Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) is an institution founded in 1932, which depends on the Spanish Ministery of Education. Originally devoted to the organization of Courses in Spanish Language and Culture for foreigners, UIMP covers presently all the academic fields of knowledge. UIMP organizes and hosts specialized workshops, courses and advanced seminars, with the main objective of offering a permanent formation to teachers, researchers and other professionals, as well as specialized lectures to postgraduate students.
The historic seat of UIMP is located at Santander, in a former summer residence of the royal family. UIMP has also seats in Coruna, Sevilla, Tenerife, Cuenca, Valencia, Barcelona and Formigal. The sessions of the Summer School on QMBT will be held at the Palau de Pineda, a neoclassic edifice, which has been recently restored to hold this kind of events.
