Stockholm University

The Centre for Research in International Migration and Ethnic Relations (CEIFO) is an interdisciplinary research program at department of social anthropology, Stockholm University. Established in 1983, SU/CEIFO was the first centre of its kind in the Nordic countries and among the first to be set up in Europe. Its key competences are in the area of sociology and social anthropology. Over the years it has focused on questions relating to educational and labor market careers of young people of immigrant background, with special emphasis on questions of exclusion and inclusion, forms of social and cultural capital and the relevance of understanding career-paths in a transnational perspective. The center maintains a close collaboration with several research-projects (in Sweden and Europe) focusing on integration of children of immigrants, and has previous experience of leadership for Research-schools, doctoral programs, advanced courses and larger research-programs. It has also a previous record of being partner in various international projects and networks as for instance TIES RTN within FP 6 (Marie Curie) and IMISCOE.
