The Australian Institute for Macedonian Studies (AIMS) was formed in August 1986 by a group of academics, teachers and professionals, aiming to promote the cultural and historical identity of Macedonian Hellenism and to conduct research on various domains and disciplines including anthropological, socio-cultural, linguistic and historical pertinent to Hellenism; the scope of studies extends over the wider geographic region of Macedonia from the 11th century BC to the present day, covering the ancient, medieval and post-liberation period.
