Objectives

The mission of the Institute is to build an international network for nomadic studies, to deal with the possibilities and requirements
of contemporary
scientific and multidisciplinary research, with relevant issues including preservation and conservation of the unique historical and cultural heritage of nomadic peoples.
As well as sensitize policymakers and societies to the needs and concerns of nomadic communities and assist the Nomads in overcoming the challenges, they

About us

The idea for the International Institute for the Study of Nomadic Civilizations germinated during the Nomads Expedition in Mongolia, which was organized by UNESCO in 1992 as part of the Silk Roads project when an international team recommended an institute. During the 27th Session, held in 1993, at the General Conference, UNESCO confirmed the recommendation. The Secretariat of the Institute is based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. At present, it has three organizational units and ten staff members. Dr Byambabaatar Ichinkhorloo was appointed the Director of the Institute by the Fourth session of the General Assembly in Paris, France 2022.
