The Cariplo Foundation for Information and Studies on Multiethnicity arose from a need to encourage and support studies and projects concerning the various aspects of multicultural society, within a historical context.
The Cariplo-I.S.MU. Foundation sets out to analyze the everchanging dynamics of multiethnicity with particular reference to the new relationship between the worlds of North and South, to the changes which have token place in the Eastern block countries, to the progress towards a unified Europe, to the internationalization of cultural dynamics, the growing importance of societies and cultures at a local level.
Within this framework, the Foundation is concerned with migration, which has come to the forefront in recent years. The Foundation aims to focus the attention of academics, administrators, and those responsible for information and training, on these problems.
The work of the Cariplo - I.S.MU. Foundation con be divided into four main areas:
  • documentation: the collection and collation of available material both here and from other countries;
  • promoting studies and research;
  • training: including backup available to staff working in both private and public bodies;
  • information: by means of seminars, conventions and publications on multiethnicity.
