About the Quevedo Institute of Arts of Humour

The Quevedo Institute of Arts of Humour (IQH, from its acronym in Spanish) is a centre for the study, dissemination and research of humour in all of its forms.

Its creation was approved by the General Foundation of the University of Alcalá’s Board of Trustees at its meeting on 20 December 2011. Through the IQH, the Foundation is taking a qualitative step to broaden, transform and propel its graphic humour programme toward the academic and university sphere.

The Institute aspires to be a pioneer in the university and in society, even beyond our borders, given the important contribution of humour, in its different forms, to all areas of our social reality and especially in the fields of culture, literature, communication, politics and entertainment.
