The Center for Asian Migration Studies(CAMS) concentrates on basic research for exploring, understanding, and explaining the status, characteristics, and prospects of migration and immigration over countries, regions, and continents. At the same time, the center seeks to establish itself as a hub of Asian migration studies through a network of related agents at home and abroad such as the government, academia, and civil society, in the rapid transitional process toward a multicultural society with low birthrate. To this end, the center will construct a database for Asian migration studies and create a network of migration experts within and outside the country. Through discussions and explorations of migration policy and issues with experts in Korea and other countries, the center will proliferate research outcomes through academic exchanges including conferences.
