Brief Profile: The Irish Centre for Migration Studies promotes the study of historical and contemporary migration, to and from Ireland, within a comparative international framework, using new information and communication technologies
It aims to be the primary resource centre for migration studies in Ireland.
Objectives
The Centre will investigate worldwide Irish migrant experiences and conditions in the late twentieth century; the implications of the growing rate of immigration into Ireland for Irish identity, culture and society; and the policy implications of these various developments.
The Centre will engage, in cooperation with other centres, in the detailed historical reconstruction of the diversity of Irish migration experiences
The Centre will develop databases in various aspects of Irish migration studies and will use new technologies to facilitate access to such databases by a world-wide community of scholars, the interested public and other relevant bodies inside and outside Ireland.
