Seminar

EU Eastern Enlargement elicited a rise in (temporary) labour market-oriented immigration to Germany starting in May 2011. Taking into account that not all immigrants stay permanently and that outmigration flows are selective, this paper classifies recent EU immigrants into “new arrivals” and “stayers” drawing on administrative social security data (2005-2017). 

Due to unforeseen circumstances the seminar that had been scheduled for 29th September has had to be rescheduled

Data is commonly considered a driver for more informed and timely decision-making in humanitarian response. At the same time, there is still often a disconnect between data and decisions, with cognitive and motivational biases likely affecting decision-making. 

Research generates ideas, knowledge and recommendations but it will only have a real-world impact if it is properly understood, effectively communicated and, ultimately, used to inform policy decisions. A key strategic objective for UNU-MERIT is to get our research agenda – in particular Comprehensive Innovation for Sustainable Development (CI4SD) issues – on policymakers’ agendas and to see our recommendations and findings implemented as policy. 

On 26 November 2021 a seminar on the “Recent Developments in the Area of International Parentage” will take place. This seminar is organised in honour of Prof. R. de Groot (a MACIMIDE board member) on the occasion of his 70th birthday. To register please click here. 

Join the EUI Migration Working Group, Qualifie and CERC Migration for a presentation and discussion of the open access book “Visual Methodology in Migration Studies. New Possibilities, Theoretical Implications, and Ethical Questions”. 

Foundlings or children of unknown parents found in the territory can be among the most 
vulnerable being left otherwise stateless. Article 2 of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of 
Statelessness provides for the nationality grant to foundlings found in the territory, and many non-State parties also have equivalent nationality law provisions. However, many States in the Asia and the Pacific region do not have such “foundling provisions.” Even in States with such provisions, “non-typical” cases such as older children found in the territory, or children for whom incomplete information exists on the identity of their parent(s) may be left stateless, often with the “foundling provisions” narrowly interpreted to only mean “abandoned newborns.”

The STRINGS final workshop will gather researchers, policymakers, funders and civil society to discuss and share experiences on how prioritisations in science, technology and innovation (STI) may need to be revised to better address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in different contexts — with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries.
