Research
Competitive and high-quality research, in both national and international contexts, aimed at promoting the expansion and scientific dissemination of knowledge about the phenomena associated with migration.
We connect research lines with teaching and the training of professionals.
The current challenges posed by the scientific study of social phenomena as complex as mobility and migration in a globalized world demand, more than ever, interdisciplinary research and the creation of synergies among researchers.
