The last two centuries have witnessed a continuous increase in the number of persons and groups of persons moving from one locality to another - across borders, towards citites, between regions. These migratory processes and their consequences form the thematic framework for AMID and include the following thematic foci: Schooling and educational policies; the labour market; social problems and social work; spatial questions; cultural strategies. To see the full file of the thematic framework, please download the document: AMID's Thematic Framework (PDF Format).

On the background of the thematic framework the Academy gives priority to five research areas.
