Institute
An ''institute'' is a permanent organizational body created for a certain purpose. Often it is a research organization (research institute|research institution) created to do research on specific topics. An institute can also be a professional body. In some countries institutes can be part of a university or other institution of higher education, either as a group of academic department|departments or an autonomous educational institution without a classic full university status such as a '''University Institute'''.
The word comes from the Latin word ''institutum'' meaning ''facility'' or ''habit''; from ''instituere'' meaning ''build'', ''create'', ''raise'' or ''educate''.
In some countries, such as South Korea and Japan, private schools are sometimes called institutes, rather than schools.
In the United Kingdom the title 'Institute' is a protected word and companies or other organisations may only use that word if they are "organisations which are carrying out research at the highest level or to professional bodies of the highest standing".['Sensitive words' FAQ on Companies House website]
Furthermore, if a company is carrying on a business under a different name to the company name, that business name must comply with the Business Names Act. Use of the title 'Institute' requires approval from the Secretary of State. Failure to obtain approval is a criminal offence.
