The International Institute of Macau - IIM - is a Macau founded and based institution, with portuguese matrix and a universalist scope.

It was conceived as a continuity service, loyal to the deepest of Macau's identity and vocation - to which it wants to contribute with new ways of projection and promotion.

Fruit of a complex creation that lasted four centuries, Macau became a metropole of convergencies and ecumenism, of different cultural and religious components. But it was the ability to operate its own cultural creations that allowed Macau to generate a particular identity and to be a factor of civilization.
