The Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies has its more than thirty years long history. Namely, the Department for Migration and Nationalites was founded in 1965 and the Centre for Migration Studies in 1967. These two institutions were integrated in 1984 under the name The Centre for Migration and Ethnic Studies, later The Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies.

According to the last Scientific and Research Activities Law of the Republic of Croatia (1996) the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies was established as a public institute (as the other 22 research organisations in the Republic of Croatia) in order to carry out the programme of scientific research as public service under the Ministry of Science and Technology, Republic of Croatia.
