Migration studies has evolved rapidly as a field of academic study. This involves the rise of new research topics, new methods and the involvement of an increasingly broad range of disciplines. IMISCOE as a leading academic research network seeks to represent and promote research across the broad field of migration studies. To this aim, a research infrastructure of Standing Committees has evolved over the last 15 years, which constitutes the backbone of IMISCOE and a key motor for developments in migration studies at large.Â
This conference aims to rethink IMISCOE’s research infrastructure in the light of broader developments in the field of migration studies. What new topics of research should be promoted by IMISCOE, what impetus can be given to the role of Standing Committees in the network in and in the field of research at large, and what synergies can be established between the activities of current Standing Committees? An effort to promote systematic knowledge accumulation in migration studies (IMISCOE’s H2020 project CrossMigration) can provide support to developing IMISCOE’s research infrastructure of the future.
This working conference invites the participation of all chairs of IMISCOE’s Standing Committees and Research Groups, representatives of IMISCOE member institutes (BD members) and researchers from the CrossMigration. Participants will be involved in various working groups to develop a proposed framework for an IMISCOE research infrastructure that could contribute effectively to future developments in migration studies. This proposed framework is then to be implemented in 2019.
Please register for participation before October 15th, through the button above. Chairs of Standing Committees and Research Groups can claim a travel imbursement of max. €300 (only if the costs cannot be covered from their SC or RI budgets).
