Universidad Pablo de Olavide is a public institution located in Seville founded in 1997 with roots in Andalusian higher education reform and regional development initiatives connected to actors such as the Junta de Andalucía and the European Union.

It serves as a hub linking institutions such as the University of Barcelona, Complutense University of Madrid, University of Granada, University of Salamanca and research bodies like the Spanish National Research Council.
The institution emerged from late-20th-century policy debates involving the Junta de Andalucía, the Spanish Constitution of 1978's regional statutes, and infrastructure projects influenced by the Seville Expo '92 planning process. Founding legislation referenced models from University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and newer campuses such as the University of Cantabria and Autonomous University of Barcelona. Early leadership engaged figures connected to the Andalusian Parliament, the European Commission educational programs, and collaborations with the World Bank for campus development. Throughout its growth it interacted with national frameworks shaped by the Bologna Process, the Ministry of Science and Innovation (Spain), and funding from programs similar to the Horizon 2020 initiative.
The campus lies near Seville's Cerro del Águila corridor and features facilities comparable to those at the University of Navarra and Pompeu Fabra University: modern libraries echoing collections at the Biblioteca Nacional de España, sports complexes akin to those of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and research buildings modeled after projects at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. Laboratories host equipment used in collaborations with institutions such as Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío, Aeronáutica partners linked to Airbus, and agricultural units paralleling the Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria.
