FIES - Fundación Institucional Española

Education and public life

Fundación Institucional Española (FIES) was created to promote the Crown’s role as an institution that brings people together and supports civic life. Its work focuses on education, culture, and institutional analysis.

Main activities

• “What Does a King Mean to You?” national competition: a contest for school students, with rules published on the foundation’s website.
• FIES Journalism Award: presented annually since 1989 for an article published in Spanish media that reports on or reflects on the Crown, its constitutional role, and its public activities. The website features the award’s history, latest edition, winning article, recipient profile, and past winners.
