Migration at Work

International migration is in the news almost daily and has risen up the political agenda of national governments and supranational organizations. Migration affects sending as well as receiving countries and is an inherent part of the current processes of globalization and internationalization. In recent decades, international migrations have been characterized by profound changes. Global migration resulted in the transformation of societies and cultural diversity within specific countries. If the number of migrants in a country is high, this group automatically becomes relevant for multiple societal actors.

CeMIS Migration and Intercultural Studies 5

The Centre for Migration and Intercultural Studies (CeMIS) was founded in 2005 at the University of Antwerp, on the initiative of a group of researchers who were working together within the framework of the Antwerp Centre for Migrant Studies. The Centre conducts research and provides education and other academic services relating to migration, integration and intercultural themes in various social fields, including the labour market, welfare, Family, education, health and law. Collaborating with civil society, policymakers and other academic partners, the research centre addresses the challenges arising from migration and intercultural life in today’s society. CeMIS seeks to provide an open and pluralistic research platform that fosters collaboration between society and academia.
