This Survey is a unique report on social science research on interethnic relations and human rights in Europe. It is based on information supplied by more than three hundred research organisations, institutes and university departments.

This Survey was originally compiled by the Consiglio Italiano per le Scienze Sociali (CSS) in 1996 as ‘Interethnic Relations and Human Rights in Europe: A Survey of Research’. A comprehensive and ongoing revision of the directory of organisations contained within the Survey was initiated by CEMES in September 1998. All the listed organisations received a letter asking them to update their own entry, and to let us have information on their current research, training and publishing activities, as well as to alert us to other institutes or centres which were not currently included in the directory. New invitations were sent to those organisations from which no reply was received, and extensive use has been made of internet and other searches to try and bridge any gaps.


Help us update

Inevitably, the directory will contain some inaccuracies. We will continue our efforts to make sure the information is as up-to-date and accurate as possible, and the directory will be revised on a regular basis. If you find information which you know to be out-of-date, please do let us know – preferably also letting us have the correct new information! We would also greatly appreciate receiving details of relevant institutes and centres which are not currently listed in the directory. Contact us at: secretariat@cemes.org

 

Acknowledgements

The idea of the Survey was originally conceived by the Consiglio Italiano per le Scienze Sociali (CSS) and the idea was implemented by Dr Alessandro Silj between 1994 and 1996. Support was received from the European Cultural Foundation and the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, where in particular Maurice Aymard was of great help. In compiling the original edition, dr Silj was ably aided in his work by Barbara Bragaglia, Nadia Cannavicchio, Francesca Corridori and not least by Silvio Previtera. Thanks go to Laura Balbo for her support with a project meeting. Gudmundor Alfredsson, Dora Lafazani, Zig Layton-Henry, Helen Krag, Antal Orkeny, Alan Phillips, Maria Beatrix Roche-Trindade and Hedwig Rudolph are among the many who helped in the gathering of data, and with ideas, guidance and information. For help with the Russian entries, special thanks go to Alexander Ivanovich Nikitin from the Centre for Political and International Studies. Malcolm Cross, now director of CEMES, has been involved in the project from the outset.


Within CEMES, Catherine Lang has tackled the formidable task of securing updated and accurate information on over three hundred organisations with great energy and determination. Help and advice from, among others, Gilles de Rapper, Corinna Gomani, Andrea Kriszan and Philippe Oberknezev has been much appreciated. This internet edition of the Survey, and indeed the whole CEMES website, has been made possible thanks to the skills and efforts of David N. Williams.
