Resumen
The Borbones used science as a key for the modernization of Spain. The enlightened model, based on sending students outwards, the contracting of excellency professors and the establishment of new institutions to foment the scientific investigation, has had a wide repercution in our history.
At the time of Carlos III death and specially because of the French Revolution, the enlightened scientific program changed notoriously;
but during the first Borbones kingdom it preserves it´s own properties inserted in the national polemic between «ancients and moderns».
Much different was the institutional structure proposed during the Jose I Bonaparte kingdom, clearly inspired in what was done in France, and very complex stands were taken by the scientists about the Independence War.
Surprisely many of their proposuals, were used during the absolutist kingdom of Fernando VII.
