The Institut Ramon Llull (English: Ramon Llull Institute) is a consortium consisting of the Generalitat de Catalunya, (Catalan Government), the Govern de les Illes Balears (Government of the Balearic Islands) and the Ajuntament de Barcelona (Barcelona City Council). Its purpose is to project and disseminate abroad Catalan language and culture in all of its forms of expression. To do this, the Institut Ramon Llull provides support for external relations in the cultural ambit of its member organisations. The Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government) and the Autonomous Community of the Balearic created the Institut Ramon Llull (IRL) via an agreement signed on 5 April 2002, which was published in Resolution PRE/1128/2002, of 30 April. The objective was to create a mechanism for promoting the Catalan language, the culture that it expresses and all other cultural production (not only linguistic) from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. It is also a mechanism for consolidating and strengthening relations among the various territories that share the language. The IRL has the legal status of a consortium comprising the two aforementioned public administrations. The State government announced that it would provide support through the Instituto Cervantes. The board of the IRL was created on 3 June 2002 and consisted of the following 21 intellectuals representing the Catalan language, arts and culture: Antoni Badia i Margarit, Joaquim Molas, Miquel Batllori, Baltasar Porcel, Sergi Belbel, Carme Riera, Josep Joan Bigas i Luna, Martí de Riquer, Maria del Mar Bonet, Xavier Rubert de Ventós, Anthony Bonner, Sebastià Serrano, Josep Carreras i Coll, Antoni Tàpies, Pere Gimferrer, Josep Termes, Isidor Marí i Mayans, Joan Triadú, Josep Massot i Muntaner, Marie Claire Zimmermann and Joan Francesc Mira. In addition, Joan Maria Pujals was appointed as the institute's first director. More information...
