Ramon Llull Institute (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ramon Llull Institute (in Catalan: Institut Ramon Llull, IRL) is a Spanish organization constituted in 2002 in order to "promote Catalan language and culture internationally." The founding members are the regional governments of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands with the collaboration of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. In the 2004-2008 period, the Balearic regional government left the institution, a decision reversed with the government change in this Autonomous Community in 2008. IRL headquarters are shared between Barcelona (Catalonia) and Palma de Mallorca (Balearic islands). On May 21, 2008, the Joan Lluis Vives Institute (the network of Catalan language universities) was integrated into the IRL.
