PRIO Policy Brief
Master Thesis
What images of Europe lie behind the wish to migrate? And who are the people who prefer to remain in their own country? A new policy brief, Who wants to go to Europe? (PRIO Policy Brief 04/2013) was launched at a breakfast seminar at PRIO today. Written by PRIO research director Jørgen Carling, the policy brief presents the results from a migration survey of 8000 people from 16 different areas within Morocco, Senegal, Turkey and Ukraine. The survey was conducted as a part of the research project 'Imagining Europe from the Outside (EUMAGINE)'.
FIWON is a network at PRIO that aims to develop and promote competence on fieldwork-based research. More information about the network is published on the newly created site www.prio.no/fiwon.
PRIO's new project Theorizing Risk, Money and Moralities in Migration (TRiMM) is presented on the Research Council's web site in connection with the programme for funding independent projects (FRIPRO). This programme funds research projects of particularly high scientific merit in order to promote scientific innovation and to encourage new advancement through basic research. [More...
