ICMPD International Summer School on Migration
The “International Summer School on Migration” is organised within the framework of three EUfunded projects, namely, the “Support to Implementation of the Mobility Partnership with Azerbaijan” (MOBILAZE) project, the “Sustaining Migration Management in Georgia” (ENIGMMA 2) project and the “Prague Process: Dialogue, Analyses and Training in Action” (PP DATA) initiative – Strand C of the Mobility Partnership Facility II project. All projects are being implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD).
The Summer School takes place in Georgia from 30 June to 6 July 2019.
The purpose of the one-week Summer School is to develop and foster critical academic exchange and reflection on migration issues among master students and young professionals of different disciplines. The programme of the Summer School features research-oriented, multidisciplinary and innovative courses addressing the migration situation and policy in the EU and worldwide. Understanding that frontal teaching hardly leads to effective achievement of learning objectives, the organisers specifically strive to provide the opportunity for participants to join different workshops led by prominent migration experts, in addition to the lectures. Teaching will be accompanied by research, practical exercises and interactive discussions. Finally, in order to complete the learning cycle, participants will have the chance to develop, finalise and present small-scale projects during the Summer School (such as development of a survey, evaluation and legal analysis, etc.).
International academic experts from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, University of Sussex, the Sorbonne University School of Economics, the Danube University Krems, VU Amsterdam, University Leiden and the Maastricht University Graduate School of Governance and ICMPD will lecture and mentor the students. They will address the following issues: introduction to migration studies, migration and development, migration and the economy, perception of migrants, migration law, migration data, etc. In total, up to 75 students from migration studies, journalism/ media studies, international law/migration law, economy, demography, history and/or social and political sciences can take part in the summer school. Young professionals working on migration issues are strongly encouraged to apply as well.
