Announcement ITEM PhD Volume 

Expertise centre ITEM is the pivot of research, counselling, knowledge exchange and training activities with regard to cross-border mobility and cooperation. When it comes to topical issues, ITEM keeps its finger on the pulse. Although the refugee crisis has been going on for quite some time, the issue remains strongly present in the news. Where the discussion was first aimed at the reception of refugees and the processing of asylum applications, it is now shifting to other themes such as integration. 

Thomas Huddleston, Programme Director on Migration and Integration at the Migration Policy Group and part-time PhD fellow at Maastricht University, Campus Brussels will be taking up a part-time Senior Visiting Fellowship at the Maastricht Center for Citizenship, Migration and Development (MACIMIDE) from 1 March until the end of 2017.
