The First Congress of Basque Studies took place in Oñati in September 1918 , sponsored by the governments of Alava, Guipuzkoa, Navarre and Bizkaia. The aim of the congress was to “unite the lovers of the Basque Country who yearn for the restoration of the Basque Country and who are ready to promote culture through the appropriate media”. The Congress was chaired by Alfonso XIII and created the full body of the Government of Navarre.

The oak and the lettering “Asmoz ta jakitez” (German: “for talent and knowledge”, Spanish: “por el talento y el saber”) were his emblem . The Association of Basque Studies soon became renowned worldwide. It included many intellectuals who participated in research, meetings and congresses.

It was led by an Executive Committee , a Permanent Council and a General Assembly , and the members were divided into sections on a wide variety of topics. The current state of knowledge was published in the magazine Revista Internacional de los Estudios Vascos .
