REMESO

Remeso started in January 2008. The Institute is made possible through financial support from the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research for building a center of excellence at Linköping university for research which connects issues of working life, migration and ethnicity. Critical is also the support from the university and Norrköping Municipality.

Remeso belongs to the Department of Social and Welfare Studies(ISV) and is located to 'Bomullsspinneriet' in the middle of 'Industrilandskapet', Campus Norrköping.

The Institute gathers around 40 researchers that come from different settings, some have a background in the former Institute for Working Life, others come from the Department of Ethnic Studies, Linköping University. Remeso also has recruited researchers from other departments and universities, for example IEI - the Department for Economic and Industrial development, ISAK - Department for Studies of Social Change and Culture - at Linköping University. Remeso also hosts international visitors for shorter or longer stays, post-doctoral scholars and PhD and Master students that participate in courses at the Remeso Graduate School.

REMESO adheres to the ethical standards established by the national research councils and the research community. For additional information see  http://codex.vr.se/ at the Swedish Research Council.

Remeso has published numerous books and articles since its start. In January 2009 the first course of the Remeso Graduate School in Migration, Ethnicity and Society was held. Since then the Graduate School has delivered 2-3 courses per semester, gathering students from several countries and invited a number of internationally reknown guest lecturers. The Institute hosts a seminar series and arranges workshops and conferences in Sweden as well as abroad. The researchers take part in several international research networks and cooperative initiatives as well as more local cooperations. Remeso also has a series for Working Papers, TheMES - Themes on Migration and Ethnic Studies - All issues accessible on this site.
