Center for Refugee and Migration Studies (CRMS) based in Tirana, Albania,
aims to enhance the work of local and international organizations that
advocate on behalf of, and provide assistance to, migrants and refugees.
CRMS offers broad range of programs such as seminars, research, student
research programs, and NGO training workshops. Over the year (2000-2001),
CRMS have organized seminars in collaboration with academic institutions
including Georgetown University, University of Bern, Michigan University,
University of Prishtina and Brookings Institute, and with international
organizations such IOM, UNHCR and Save the Children Fund.
CRMS recognizes that research findings contribute greatly to improve the
quality and the extent of the NGO activities. For this reason, we offer
research professors and graduate students from around the world, the
opportunity to carry out their research in Albania. In support of individual
or institutional research projects, CRMS provides basic information,
research logistics, translation and other services necessary to carry out
research.
Migration has a huge impact on Albania, yet there are countless issues yet
to be fully explored. The examination of Albanian asylum law and practice
(case studies), issue of trafficking, rural-urban migration and its
consequences, the conditions of Albanian migrants abroad, and impact of
remittances are just few examples.
CRMS also welcomes speakers for our quarterly seminars, and wishes to
exchange information on the migration issues
in Albania with as many researchers and students as possible. If you are
interested in our programs, please e-mail us with your contact address
(institution, position, postal and e-mail address) and area of your research
interest.
Sincerely
Sonila Kuci, Office Manager
