The Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies was founded in 1984, with the aim of scientific research on external and internal migration, Croatian emigrants and minorities. It is the only scientific research institution in Croatia which systematically and continuously interdisciplinary monitors all forms of migration and population mobility, national/ethnic minorities and various aspects of ethnic issues.
In addition, research on Croatian identity and the population of Croatian islands, coasts and continental regions, as well as comparative research on postmigrant phenomena also occupy a significant place in the activities of the Institute. The Institute’s focus on this issues positions it among similar scientific research institutions and opens for cooperation with all partners whose primary activity is the research of the phenomena of migration, ethnicity, identity and mobility.
Our activities include interdisciplinary research (deductive, inductive, abductive), lectures, organization of conferences, consultations. These activities contribute to the accumulation of knowledge about sociopolitical conditions and consequences of migration, ethnic development, ethnic relations, different forms of identity, etc.
