MIGREC is a three-year research project funded by the European Union’s H2020 scheme, which started in October 2019. It aims to build a leading scientific research capacity in Migration studies at the Faculty of Political Science (FPN) of the University of Belgrade, with a view to enhance contribution to migration-related research and policy-making in Serbia and the European Union. The outcome of the project will be the creation of a research centre on Migration, Integration and Governance, under the umbrella of which the first Doctoral Program in Migration Studies at the FPN will be established.
MIGREC will bring life to a joint, well-structured coordination and support approach designed to ensure an effective infusion of state-of-the-art research knowledge in three areas that emerge as specific challenges:
Migrant integration. Building knowledge on the most important debates around migrant
Integration in European societies today, so to inform development, implementation and
Evaluation of integration policies in Serbia.
Migration-development nexus. Building understanding of who benefits most, where, why and how in diaspora-centred development strategies, so to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of policies at the nexus of migration and development in Serbia.
Migration governance. Building knowledge of the norms and organizational structures at global, supranational, regional and national levels which regulate and shape how states respond to migration, so to inform the development of appropriate governance in Serbia.
