Overview
The Swedish Center for Studies and Research, under the auspices of SHARE-K, is a premier academic institution dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of migration, integration, and peace building. The center is committed to addressing the complex challenges that arise from global migration, particularly in the context of conflict and post-conflict regions. Through rigorous research and analysis, the center aims to contribute to the development of informed policies, foster societal understanding, and promote sustainable peace both within Sweden and internationally.
Research Focus Areas
Migration and Asylum Studies
The center engages in comprehensive research on the dynamics of migration, exploring both the push and pull factors that drive migration flows. This includes in-depth studies on asylum policies, migration patterns, and the legal frameworks that govern refugee protection. The research aims to provide evidence-based insights that inform the development of fair and effective migration policies at national, European, and global levels.
Integration Studies
Understanding the socio-economic, political, and cultural integration of refugees and migrants is central to the center's work. Researchers examine the barriers and opportunities for integration in Sweden and other European contexts, focusing on education, employment, social inclusion, and political participation. The goal is to identify best practices and policy recommendations that facilitate the successful integration of migrants into host societies, ensuring mutual benefit and social cohesion.
Peace and Conflict Studies
The center places a strong emphasis on understanding the root causes of conflicts and the processes of conflict resolution and peace building. Research in this area explores how conflicts arise, how they can be resolved, and how post-conflict societies can rebuild. The center’s work also looks at the role of migration in conflict dynamics and how peace building strategies can support the integration of refugees in post-conflict settings.
Political and Economic Studies
The center analyzes the political and economic dimensions of migration and integration, including the impact of migration on labor markets, public services, and economic growth. This research also explores how political discourses and policies shape public perceptions of migrants and how economic policies can either facilitate or hinder the integration process. The objective is to provide policymakers with the tools to create more inclusive and economically vibrant societies.
Social and Cultural Studies
The cultural dimensions of migration and integration are another key focus. The center examines how cultural identities and practices are maintained or transformed in the context of migration, and how cultural exchange can enrich both migrant and host communities. This includes studies on language acquisition, intergenerational relations, and the role of arts and media in shaping cultural integration. The center also investigates the social challenges faced by migrants, such as discrimination, social isolation, and access to healthcare.
Importance and Goals
Academic Excellence and Impact

By producing high-quality, impactful research, the center seeks to contribute to the academic community, influence public policy, and enhance public understanding of these critical global issues.
Policy Development and Advocacy
One of the center’s primary goals is to bridge the gap between research and policy. By providing evidence-based recommendations, the center aims to inform and shape public policies that address the needs and challenges of migrants and refugees. This includes advocating for policies that promote social inclusion, economic opportunities, and human rights protections for migrants.
Global Collaboration and Dissemination
The center actively collaborates with universities, research institutions, NGOs, and international organizations across the globe. These partnerships enable the center to contribute to global discourses on migration and peacebuilding, share best practices, and disseminate research findings to a broad audience.

Educational and Public Engagement
In addition to its research activities, the center is dedicated to educating the public and engaging with diverse audiences. Through conferences, seminars, workshops, and publications, the center seeks to raise awareness about the complexities of migration and integration and to promote a more inclusive and informed public discourse.
Long-term Vision
The Swedish Center for Studies and Research envisions a world where migration is managed in a way that benefits both migrants and host societies, where integration processes are inclusive and equitable, and where peacebuilding efforts are sustainable and effective. By advancing knowledge in these areas, the center aims to contribute to a more just, peaceful, and interconnected world.
