The international community, governments, and civil society organizations continue to debate "migration" as a complex topic in public and policy discussions, particularly when it comes to issues like modern slavery, gender inequality, citizenship, racial discrimination, and human rights. On November 13, 2022, the North South University (NSU) founded the Center for Migration Studies (CMS), which serves as a knowledge mobilization and learning center for studying topics linked to migration themes. The Center's goal is to conduct research on issues involving migration, climate change, refugees, displacement, and government. The center also serves as a home for all students, academics and researchers from national and international universities, institutions and organizations who investigate migration in a variety of subjects.

RMMRU a center for evidence-based research and grassroots action. Since its inception in 1995, RMMRU has worked diligently to illuminate the potential of migration to initiate pro-poor growth and poverty reduction in South Asia. By cooperating with regional and global organizations, RMMRU continues to facilitate collaborative research that effectively integrates and links global migration discourse with regional grassroots programs in order to identify and eradicate the key issues affecting Bangladeshi migrants. RMMRU’s strong tie to local migration programs and role as an academic leader in migration discourse continues bridging the gap between scholars and grassroots trailblazers. Subsequently, RMMRU plays a key part in the development of effective and relevant training programs and workshops for potential migrants and migration-centered grassroots NGOs in Bangladesh. Additionally, RMMRU has engaged in over fifty primary research studies on refugees, internally displaced persons, stateless people, labour migrants and diaspora communities. These studies have not only contributed to the development of more effective programs, but have also significantly shaped migration policy in Bangladesh. Through ongoing programs, media campaigns, and research projects, RMMRU hopes to promote the idea that a well-governed and informed migration system will reduce poverty and benefit both receiving and sending regions and that migration is an important livelihood strategy to move out of poverty.
