The Centre for Research in International Migration and Ethnic Relations (CEIFO) is an inter-disciplinary research unit established in 1983 in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stockholm University. Its research programme covers international migration, ethnicity, nationalism, xenophobia and racism, ethnic relations, immigration policies and refugee reception models. The living conditions and integration of various immigrant groups are studied in a cross-national comparative perspective. Those aspects of Swedish society and culture which become visible upon confrontation with immigrants are investigated as well.
