The Barcelona GSE was founded in July 2006 as a joint venture of four academic institutions (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, IAE-CSIC and CREI). The School is supported by six private institutions: The Agbar Group, AXA Research Fund, Banc Sabadell, Catalunya Caixa Savings Bank, "la Caixa" Savings Bank, and the FemCAT Foundation. It also receives public funding from the Catalan Government and the Barcelona City Council.
The School was legally recognized by the Government of Catalonia in October 2006 as a foundation dedicated to higher education.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
