The Mass Media & Communication Institute (IMME) was established in October 1999. It is a non-profit, scientific, research and academic organization based in Nicosia, Cyprus in Europe. 2. Structure - Affiliations: IMME is governed by a Board (Council), which consists of seven counselors. The Board is assisted in its work by an Honorary Council, which comprises people from the fields of education, arts and communication.

It is affiliated to the University of Nicosia  ( http://www.unic.ac.cy ) and Intercollege ( http://www.intercollege.ac.cy ). The two institutions provide IMME with space and part of its equipment but in essence, it is substantially autonomous, since most of its funds come from private and official sponsors. IMME has also very close relations with the Cyprus Association for the Arts and Communication (KYSYTE) ( http://www.kysyte.org ).
