The Internationale Marx-Engels-Stiftung (IMES) or the International Marx-Engels Foundation, is an international scientific network, founded in 1990 on the initiative of the International Institute of Social History (IISH) in Amsterdam. The purpose of the foundation is to publish a historical-critical complete edition of the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels ( Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe – MEGA). The Foundation published the MEGA-Studien as a journal to accompany the complete edition, and from 2003 the Marx-Engels-Jahrbuch as a forum for Marx-Engels research. [1] [2] [3] [4]
In addition to the Amsterdame Institut (IISH), die Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Science (BBAW), the Karl Marx House (KMH) the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Trier, the „Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History“ (RGA) and the “Independent Russian Institute for the Study of Social and National Problems” (RNI), both based in Moscow, are involved. The Foundation's work is supported by a multi-member international scientific advisory board and teams from several countries. [1]
