MigLab - Studies on Migration

Coordinator: Professor Marco Borraccetti, Associate Professor of European Union Law

The MigLab – Studies on Migration centre was founded with the aim to explore and study the phenomenon of migration with an interdisciplinary approach, which allows to reveal its interrelations and structures. Its main objective is to stimulate and expand interdisciplinary studies on the vast topic of migration by sharing knowledge and research. Launched within the Department of Political and Social Science of the University of Bologna, MigLab aims to spread such collaboration inside and beyond the department to provide different interpretations on the issue of migration for an informed debate. From a multidisciplinary perspective, MigLab analyses and promotes the study of forced and voluntary migration through periodical publications, research and education initiatives, as well as through the participation in calls and research projects at the European level.

MigLab is also a platform where newsletters are produced to share contributions and events on migration issues.

MigLab seeks to collaborate with academic and non-academic institutions and host researchers and students interested in migration studies.
