Activities
The Chair will conduct the following activities:
- Scientific or general public events: organization of research seminars, international conferences and thematic workshops. The Chair’s annual conference is intended to bring together a large public.
- Invitations to researchers: to enrich research and initiate new collaborations, the Chair can involve invited researchers in one of its programs, for short or long periods.
- Doctoral thesis and post-doctoral fellowships: the Chair supports the development of research potential by financing doctoral and post-doctoral fellowships on defined topics.
- Policy briefs: these are used to promote research work and make it available to a wide audience. They address current issues and propose potential solutions.
Objectives
The objective of this chair is to create a place open to society in order to disseminate, share and discuss the findings of scientific studies on a major societal issue.
The objectives of the “International Migration Economics” Chair will be to:
- analyze the determinants (economic, political, demographic, humanitarian, climatic) of international migration,
- understand the economic potential of migration in terms of growth and integration into the global economy
- understand the consequences of globalization and the emergence of regional powers on migration flows
- analyze the place of immigration and diversity in society
- evaluate public policies for the economic and social integration of immigrants, refugees and their descendants
- promote initiatives for international governance of migration (common asylum policy in Europe, global approach to the management of climatic migration).
