Center for Migration and Integration Research: A multistakeholder Arena
The center supports multistakeholder collaboration between various actors in the migration and integration chain with the aim of gathering, developing, and spreading science-based knowledge.
The center is also a platform to support the sustainable integration of third-country nationals in Sweden. Together with key stakeholders in the integration chain, experiences and insights are incorporated into a systemic perspective for collective solutions. The center emphasizes the importance of collaboration at multiple levels and focuses not only on supporting labor market employment but also on other dimensions of sustainable integration such as understanding the facilitators and markers of integration.
The Center is funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), and co-funded by the European Union.
On 29 January 2026, the Center for Migration and Integration Research (CMIR) was launched at the Stockholm School of Economics.

Integration policy is high on the agenda ahead of the 2026 election. On 26 March, CMIR researcher Olle Hammar will participate in a seminar at SNS, a leading Swedish policy think tank, on key policy choices and political priorities.
