Invitation to join: Local network of migration researchers, practitioners and policymakers
During a workshop at the 2023 MACIMIDE conference, participants identified a need to better connect the research conducted by MACIMIDE members with the work of practitioners and policymakers.
In response, a local network has been created and is currently being reshaped to align more closely with the existing civil society landscape and to strengthen the research side. Therefore, we – Cheyenne Dohmen (Student Service Centre), Ruben Tans, and Tobias Hillenbrand (both MACIMIDE) – would like to invite more migration researchers to join this initiative. While we are still refining the exact modus operandi, we can assure you that participation will require minimal time commitment. Nonetheless, this may significantly enhance the local impact of your research. If you’re interested in joining, please email hillenbrand@merit.unu.edu and include your faculty affiliation and areas of expertise. And feel free to help us spread the word.
