Bilbao, Bizkaia.  In 2009, the University of Deusto created the Basque Studies Institute as part of the college of Social Sciences and Humanities.  Its main objectives include the diffusion of the Basque language and culture, the promotion of superior research on Basque themes, especially those in the social and human sciences, supporting Basque Studies in higher education for those living in Bizkaia as well as those outside of the historic territories, as indicated in a note published by the Provincial Government of Bizkaia. 

The Basque Studies Institute at the University of Deusto has assembled an important collection of literature relating to all aspects of Basque culture.
