IMES is a multidisciplinary and interfaculty research centre that focuses on international migration and the integration of immigrants and their descendants in host societies in a comparative perspective. IMES is part of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR). IMES is directed by Dr. Olga Sezneva, Dr. Barak Kalir and Dr. Floris Vermeulen.

IMES is supported by three programme groups of AISSR that are active in the thematic fields of integration and migration:

• Challenges of Democratic Representation

• Dynamics of Citizenship and Culture

IMES is open to all researchers who are interested in the thematic fields of integration and migration and can contribute to the centre's activities.
