It was established by merging of two institutions: the Centre for Migration Studies, heir of the continuous research of external migration which began in 1967 within the Institute for Geography of the University of Zagreb, to which the Centre for Education of the Institute for Social Research of the University of Zagreb was added in 1977, and the Agency for Migration and Na­tio­­­nalities (established in 1965). Its goal was a scientific research of external and internal migration, Croatian emigration and minorities.
