Promoting Migration Studies in India

International migration is a dominant topic in the political debate around the world. It is a critical policy domain for governments at all levels, as well as for both sending and receiving societies and it is an increasingly relevant phenomenon for the understanding of global dynamics and interactions. Migration furthermore touches upon multiple facets of human rights. Hence, the UNI-ETC engages in research and various projects on this crucial topic, one of which drew to a close in February with a Winter School and Closing Event in Delhi/India.

The ERASMUS+ Project PROMIG (Promoting Migration Studies in Higher Education) started in 2016 and aimed at developing curricula in migration management for 6 universities in the South Caucasus region and Afghanistan, establish migration competence centres at Tbilisi State University (Georgia), Yerevan State University (Armenia) and Khazar University (Azerbaijan) and develop a regional research network.

The PROMIG Winter School on Migration brought together over sixty participants and faculty from seven different countries (Afghanistan, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Brasil, Georgia, Germany, India, Spain and Vietnam) who engaged in an intensive, interdisciplinary and participative exchange on the study of migration.

Prof. Wolfgang Benedek and Bernadette Knauder represented the UNI-ETC at the Winter School in India, together with four students of Uni Graz. Please read the student’s impressions here. (German)

 

Förderung von Migrationsstudien in Indien

Internationale Migration ist weltweit ein dominierendes Thema in der politischen Debatte. Es ist ein kritischer Politikbereich für Regierungen, eine Herausforderung für sendende und empfangende Gesellschaften und zunehmend relevant für das Verständnis globaler Dynamiken und Interaktionen.

Migration berührt auch zahlreiche Facetten der Menschenrechte. Daher forscht UNI-ETC zu diesem wichtigen Thema und setzte verschiedene Drittmittelprojekte um, von denen eines im Februar mit einer Winterschule und einer Abschlussveranstaltung in Delhi / Indien zu Ende ging.

Das ERASMUS + -Projekt PROMIG (Promoting Migration Studies in Higher Education) wurde 2016 gestartet und zielte darauf ab, Lehrpläne für Migrationsmanagement für 6 Universitäten im Südkaukasus und in Afghanistan zu entwickeln und Migrationskompetenzzentren an der Tbilisi State University (Georgien) der Yerevan State University (Armenien) und der Khazar-Universität (Aserbaidschan) und entwickeln ein regionales Forschungsnetzwerk aufzubauen.

Die PROMIG Winter School on Migration brachte über 60 Teilnehmer und Fakultäten aus sieben verschiedenen Ländern (Afghanistan, Armenien, Österreich, Aserbaidschan, Brasilien, Georgien, Deutschland, Indien, Spanien und Vietnam) zusammen, die einen intensiven, interdisziplinären und partizipativen Austausch zum Forschungsgegenstand Migration pflegten. Prof. Wolfgang Benedek und Bernadette Knauder vertraten zusammen mit vier Studierenden der Uni Graz das UNI-ETC an der Winter School in Indien. Die Eindrücke der Studierenden finden Sie hier.
