The Migration, Mobility and Ethnicity Research Group aims to enrich the discussion and expand research on public policies, particularly in the areas of migration policies and ethnicity.

The group's work is crucial in promoting well-informed and inclusive societies by bridging research, policy, and practice. The group specifically focuses on:

 

  • Engaging in international research and establishing networks centered on migration, mobility, and ethnicity to promote global collaboration and knowledge exchange.
  • Developing and evaluating perspectives on public policies related to migration and integration, while integrating digital technologies within diverse research teams, such as those at the SocioDigital Lab and the Emigration Observatory.
  • Implementing research-action initiatives that have a tangible impact on educational institutions and civil society, involving public, private, and third sectors to drive meaningful change.
