The Migration Working Group (MWG) is a researcher-led research group, whose aim is to foster exchange on the latest, cutting-edge migration research and give the opportunity to early career scholars and PhD researchers to present their research.
The MWG is organised by the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) in coordination with EUI researchers Leon Boveland (ECON), Fabian Riesinger (HEC), Maxine Both (SPS), and Erendira Leon (SPS).
The scope of this initiative is global and interdisciplinary. Master’s students, PhD researchers, post-doctoral fellows and visiting scholars are all encouraged to participate.
The sessions of the 2024-2025 series will held in-person, with a hybrid option for those not located in Florence. Zoom links will be provided after registration to each event. Details of the venue will be shared soon. Each session will feature presentations of 2 draft papers with a total of 45 minutes designated for each presentation/discussion, including audience Q&A.
