CENTRO DE ESTUDOS DAS MIGRAÇÕES E DAS RELAÇÕES INTERCULTURAIS – CEMRI
CEMRI has been in operation since 1989, at the Institute of Post-Graduate Studies of the Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University). The Centre was recognised by the Portuguese National Research Scientific Board as a major research and advanced training centre in Portugal for the study of migrations and intercultural relations.
Its research activities are organised into three major areas: 1) Migrations, with three main section: a. Migrants’ memories and interactions, b. Migrations and Urban spaces, c. Multicultural and Intercultural Dynamics. 2) Gender and Equal Opportunity Studies, with three main sections: a. Gender and Women History, b. Women and family, c. Women and social citizenship. 3) Health, Culture and Development. In 1990-91, CEMRI instituted the first Masters Programme in ‘Intercultural Relations’ in Portugal. In 1995-96 CEMRI also launched a pioneering Masters Programme in ‘Womens Studies’. In the academic year of 1996-97, a course named ‘Sociology of Migrations’ was also introduced by the Centre, which is the only one in Portugal on this topic. In 1998-99 a ‘Communication in Healthcare’ Masters Degree is being introduced.

The Centre was created in 1978 by a group of faculty members of the School of Economics of the University of Coimbra to promote scientific research on Portuguese society. Today the CES has 36 researchers – sociologists (who form the majority), economists, jurists, scholars of literature, geographers and medical doctors – who in the past five years have either completed or developed 57 research projects including: ‘The State, the Economic and Social Reproduction in the Semiperiphery of the World System’ and ‘The Administration of Justice in Portugal: Patterns of use of Courts and Portuguese Images of Justice’.
Within the next five years research at CES will be guided by a new project, ‘Portuguese Society and the Challenges of Globalisation: Economic, Social and Cultural Modernisation’, that is deemed decisive for its future development and will reinforce CES’s link to international research.
The Centre also participates in the European comparative project ‘Migrated insertion in the informal economy, deviant behaviour and the impact on the receiving society’, funded by the Fourth Framework Program of the European Commission. The Portuguese work is co-ordinated by Professor Maria Ioannis Benis Baganha.
CES publishes the journal Revista de Ciencia Socias and the series of short papers Saber Imaginar o Social and Oficinas do CES.
