Fundación Ideas para el progreso

The Ramón Rubial Institute is the body resulting from the merger between the Ramón Rubial-Españoles en el Mundo Foundation and focuses its activities on the promotion and defense of the Rights of Spaniards abroad as well as that of immigrants who live in Spain, promoting the full integration of immigrants in our society. IDEAS for Progress Foundation was approved at the 37th Federal Congress of the PSOE with the responsibility to integrate and coordinate the existing socialist foundations at the state level. In December 2008, it was legally incorporated and started operating in April 2009. From then on, a progressive think tank that did not exist up until then, was created. Since last January 1st, IDEAS Foundation has extended its objectives and competences by integrating the Jaime Vera, Ramón Rubial and Pablo Iglesias Institutes as well as the Global Progress Council. With these mergers all the International action of the socialist foundations as well as their different activities in political cooperation are unified under IDEAS Foundation.
