Two of the most influential ideas in migration research and policy are ‘migration management’ and ‘the migration–development nexus’. In Europe no less than in other regions of the world, each of these notions has spawned substantial research. But the connections between the two remain elusive. Addressing migration challenges requires an approach that aligns the two research fields and translates the linkages into policy implications. This is the challenge at the heart of MIGNEX.
MIGNEX is one of the largest-ever European-funded research projects on migration. This attests to the complexity and potential impact of the project. Primary field research takes place in ten countries of origin and transit: Afghanistan, Cabo Verde, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Tunisia, and Turkey. Data collection will encompasses policy reviews, key informant interviews, focus groups, and a large sample survey. Most of the data collection is focused on 25 research areas spread across the ten countries, allowing for identifying mechanisms at the local level.
MIGNEX has a dedicated website at
www.mignex.org.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 770453.
PhD-Level Course now open for applications.
Following the completion of data collection in 26 research areas, across 10 countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, the MIGNEX project has published one Case Study Brief for each of the research areas.
Survey-based research is widespread but also replete with challenges. Researchers face a range of analytical, technical, managerial, and ethical dilemmas. Drawing on extensive experience, Research Professor Jørgen Carling and PRIO Global Fellow Jessica Hagen-Zanker have developed a new PhD-level course on survey methods, with a focus on migration research.
The course was taught in Oslo 7–9 September and covered the entire survey process, including research design, technical solutions, data management, quality assurance and communication of results. It drew upon ongoing survey research in the MIGNEX and FUMI projects.
Successful MIGNEX consortium meeting in Istanbul, with inspiring discussion as the project members continue to build new knowledge on migration, development and policy.
PRIO invites applications for this course, which will be taught in person in Oslo in September 2022. The application deadline is 10 June.
PRIO seeks to recruit a full-time Research Assistant, initially for a period of one year, to work on two projects within the PRIO Migration Centre.
The initial fieldwork for MIGNEX was being completed when the worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis erupted. The pandemic not only thwarts travel in the short term but has longer-term implications that are still unknown.
The latest issue of PRIO Migration Research Update provides an overview of recent news, events, publications, videos and more from the Migration research group.
The new research communications project CINEMIG will use cinematic formats to increase the value-added of PRIO’s research on the causes of international migration.
PRIO coordinates MIGNEX, the largest-ever European funded research project on migration to Europe, which collects data in 25 communities across Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
The large PRIO-led project MIGNEX examines migration and development at the local level across Africa and Asia. A milestone was reached when the specific research areas were selected.
