The Basque Summer University (in Basque and officially: Udako Euskal Unibertsitatea, UEU) is a university institution created in 1973, which works to promote extensive use of Basque language at the university level. It promotes courses, book publications, Internet services, congresses, professional meetings and postgraduate degrees at university level and in Basque. It offers university courses in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country, Mondragon University, Public University of Navarra, the University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour in Bayonne, and Basque Wikipedia.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

The UEU has its headquarters in the Palace of Markeskua (Eibar).^[6] Although its name is the Basque Summer University (Udako Euskal Unibertsitatea, UEU), the institution offers university courses year-round, not just in the summer. It is currently a non-profit organisation and in 1990 it was recognised as a public utility organisation because it promotes general interest in the field of research, learning, and dissemination, mainly at university level, through the many pedagogical and cultural services it provides.^[7]
