Research clusters

AMIS’ research profile is reflected in six AMIS research clusters. The aim of AMIS research clusters is to enhance cooperation and community among migration researchers across disciplines and research themes, with a particular focus on the humanities and social sciences, through the following objectives:

  • to inspire research curiosity and consolidate ongoing research
  • to stimulate cooperation and community
  • to cut across disciplines and research themes
  • to facilitate networking
  • to enhance the integration of teaching and research.
