| The Institute |
|
The primary objective of the Institute is to carry out complex and interdisciplinary studies on the situation of the Hungarian and Roma minorities in the Central and Eastern European region, as well as the non-Hungarian minorities in Hungary, involving the fields of contemporary history, sociology, anthropology, sociolinguistics, law and political science. The Institute pursues basic research in the topics of changing languages and identities, models of minority self-government, minority institutions, interethnic relations and conflicts, as well as migration processes. At the same time, the Institute carries out applied research in support of the educational, cultural, linguistic, regional and local programmes of development concerning minority community building. |
