To do this, the Botin Foundation develops programmes in the fields of art and culture, education, institution consolidation, science and rural development. In addition, it has a Water Observatory specialising in the analysis of the governance and comprehensive management of water resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The headquarters of the Botin Foundation is in Santander. Since 2012 it also has an office in Madrid to respond to the growing demands of its activity. In addition, in Cantabria there is the Rectoral House of Puente Pumar, the Foundation&#8217;s operations centre in the Nansa Valley, from where it carries out its Rural Development, Heritage and Territory Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important project of the Foundation is the Botin Centre. Inaugurated in June 2017 in Santander, it is an art centre that aims to bring a different point of view to the art world and whose social mission is to enhance the creativity of all audiences through the arts to generate development and economic, social and cultural wealth. Thus, along with its exhibitions from both the Botin Foundation collection and international artists, with the idea of offering visitors more opportunities to meet and enjoy the best of the international art in an inspiring enclave, the Botin Centre has a wide variety of artistic, cultural and educational activities, which year after year come together in a varied program that includes concerts, film series, dance and theatre shows, different types of visits to exhibitions, workshops, courses, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fundaci\u00f3n Botin, sowing the seeds of the future The Marcelino Bot\u00edn Foundation was created in 1964 by Marcelino Bot\u00edn Sanz de Sautuola and his wife, Carmen Yllera, to promote the social development of Cantabria.
