The Escotet Foundation

The Escotet Foundation is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in Florida whose mission is to develop, support and disseminate social innovation and virtual programs, services and resources in intercultural and international development education and its interrelationship with human and social sciences.
History
The Escotet Foundation is a private foundation founded by Miguel Angel Escotet in 1994 in Miami, Florida, in order to fill a gap in the then emerging World Wide Web of an online information resource about intercultural and international development education. Back then, the Foundation created one of the first comprehensive bilingual databases of online resources for the field to serve scholars, students and different professionals related to this area of study.
Initiatives
The Foundation has had a steady presence since its beginnings in the United States, Spain, Argentina and France. Since 1996 it has established strategic partnerships with UNESCO and United Nations University to develop the UNESCO/UNU Chair on History and Future of the University, in cooperation with the University of Palermo.
The Escotet Foundation has provided online strategic educational support to University of Palermo, Florida International University, University of Deusto, Universidad de los Andes, IDEAS Institute, the Basque Women’s Institute (EMAKUNDE), and the Comparative and International Education Society, among other non-profits
