The Macau Ricci Institute (MRI) is one of the four Ricci Institutes around the world. There are The Taipei Ricci Institute for Chinese Studies (TRI), The Ricci Institute in Paris and The Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History at Boston College. Together, they are referred to as “International Ricci Association for Chinese Studies, IRACS”. Its general purpose is to promote the spirit of Fr. Matteo Ricci, S.J. (1552-1610), to promote cross-cultural and interreligious dialogue between the Chinese world and other different cultural and religious traditions around the world, as well as to research on the history of spreading the Western learning in China or the development of Chinese Studies in the West.

The Macau Ricci Institute, established in 1999, is engaged in the research and publications concerning Chinese history, culture, the presence of Christianity in China, and the history of cross-cultural relations between China and the West. Moreover, it also conducts projects covering the study of Macao's history, interreligious and cross-cultural communication and dialogue, social innovation, comparative spirituality, and moral leadership.

The book exhibition titled “The Past, Present and Future of the Chinese Studies”, will showcase the book collections Monumenta Serica Monograph Series published by Monumenta Serica Institute in Sankt Augustin, in Germany, as well as the periodical series Chinese Cross Currents and The Journal of the Macau Ricci Institute, published by The Macau Ricci Institute. These publications demonstrate the past, present, and possible future orientations of the Chinese Studies. They highlight how the Chinese Studies are promoting the knowledge about China with its role in the globalized world, and how they contribute to building up the dialogue between different cultures and religions in Asia across different historical periods. It is an opportunity for our readers to witness the connection and the dialogue between the old and the new academic publications in the field of Chinese Studies.

1935 the Divine Word missionary and German sinologist Franz Xaver Biallas (1878-1936) decided to establish a scholarly sinological journal to replace a former periodical of Fu Jen University in Peking. Since then “Monumenta Serica. Journal of Oriental Studies” was born, and a respective institute took the same name. Monumenta Serica is a Latin expression with the meaning –“Chinese relics” or “the records of Chinese culture”. This cooperation helps the university to achieve its goals, serving to facilitate cultural exchange between China and the West and a dialogue and mutual growth of Chinese culture and Christian faith.

一九三五年聖言會的會士，德國漢學家鮑潤生（Franz Xaver Biallas, 1878-1936）決定創辦一個漢學方面的學術性刊物，以取代原有的輔大校刊。自此，以Monumenta Serica（簡稱MS）為名之學術期刊便應運而生，而華裔學志研究所亦以此為名。Monumenta Serica為拉丁文，中文翻譯為「絲域的史跡」，其中「絲域」二字代表中國，因此可解釋為「華夏文化的紀錄」。目標為：促進和提升西方對中國文化的研究、了解、賞識以及提升台灣漢學界對西方漢學研究的認識與了解。
