COMIR

Over the last several years, a number of organizations (NGOs, INGOs as well as IGOs) have been engaged in the development of online resources to facilitate the exchange of information, to support minority initiatives and to advocate minority rights in the region. These organizations have adopted various strategies to collect and disseminate information, which often result in overlapping efforts and parallel projects. Thus is seen the necessity of cooperation and coordination between various organizations engaged in the development of online resources, networking and dissemination of information on the issues of minority rights, multicultural politics and ethnic relations in Central and Eastern Europe, and in the Commonwealth of Independent States.

COMIR is an Internet-based cooperative project that promotes the free flow of information and dialogue in the field of ethnic relations, multicultural politics and minority rights, in order to provide up-to-date online information to policy-makers at the European, national, and local levels, including politicians, practitioners, representatives of the media, public officials and NGOs. To this end, COMIR has developed and promoted virtual libraries, mailing lists, a database of full text documents, training materials, and so on.

Major initiatives include: a database of diversity-related projects by COMIR members; coordinated mailing lists; a meta-search engine across founders' websites; Minority Rights Practitioners Resource Pack; best practices database; curriculum and resource development; and advocacy trainings.
