Germany

​The Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, visited PRIO this afternoon. 

It is a paradox that anti-immigration movements, whose key concern is opposing mobility across borders and who advocate isolationism, nationalism and cultural traditionalism, often work transnationally.

​The project Reaching Out to Close the Border: The Transnationalization of Anti-Immigration Movements in Europe (Anti-Mig) has today been granted 4-year funding from the VAM programme of the Research Council of Norway.

Congratulations to project leader Kristian Berg Harpviken and his researcher colleague at PRIO, Marta Bivand Erdal. In addition, the project has three external members (see below).
