Area of expertise

Migration & Diaspora

Why people move, how they are received, what ties they keep with their countries of origin, and how policy responds.

Migration is central to Romania’s recent history. The country has one of Europe’s largest diasporas and is increasingly a country of transit and destination.

We study migration across its whole cycle: the decision to leave, the journey, reception and integration, life between two countries, and return. Our interests include labour migration, asylum, international protection and diaspora engagement.

Our research starts from migrants’ and refugees’ rights, agency and own accounts, aiming to inform institutions and give public debate a firmer factual basis.
