Calls
Call for papers: Symposium and PhD-training: Conference Lived transnationalism in times of violent conflict – Cross-border connections and mobilities of people, goods and capital (held 27-28 March 2023, Bonn)
As mentioned above, this symposium seeks to unpack how transnational mobilities and connectivities come into being and change under the conditions of violent conflicts, and how they shape the lives of those who are transnationally (dis)entangled. This symposium wants to bring together scholars who embrace a transnational research perspective yet come from very different disciplinary backgrounds (e.g., anthropology, sociology, political science and international relations, geography). It aims to provide a space of engagement for both established scholars and PhD candidates in the fields of (forced) migration studies as well as peace and conflict studies, who are working on the transnational entanglements of diverse actors in violent conflicts.
The deadline for application submissions is set on 31 January 2023 and should be sent to event@ffvt.net.
Call for proposals: Media representation and inclusion for refugees and migrants
Media (re)presentation and visibility of vulnerable groups like migrants and refugees remains marginal in the mainstream social media across the EU, with the exception of the coverage of the consequences of the war against Ukraine. The objective of this European Commission (EC) action grants call is to identify ways to promote inclusive social media in Europe, and to help amplify refugee and migrants’ own narratives about their place and role within European societies and communities. The deadline for submission is 15 March 2023.
Call for nominations: Maria Ioannis Baganha Dissertation Award 2023

Dissertations from all academic disciplines and methodological approaches are welcome. Applicants who have applied in earlier years cannot apply again. Thesis manuscripts in which a majority of the substantive chapters are co-authored publications will not be accepted. The 2023 competition is open to all PhD recipients whose official defense date occurred within the 24-month period preceding the deadline for submission of 31 January 2023. Applications should be submitted by email to the IMISCOE Network Office: info@imiscoe.org.

Deepening your knowledge
- Article
Radboud Recharge: ‘You found refuge in the Netherlands, now what?’
Suppose you've had to leave home and hearth and you finally reach the Netherlands after a long journey full of uncertainties. From an emergency shelter or asylum seekers' centre, you then have to wait for months without any certainty about your future. In the meantime, you cannot study or work. That is the fate of most refugees when they first arrive in the Netherlands. With initiatives like Radboud Welcomes Newcomers, the University wants to help these people give new forms to their lives. “Many people yearn to be intellectually challenged again.”
- Report
Publication advisory report ‘Realisme rond richtgetallen - Kansen en risico’s van streefcijfers en quota in het migratiebeleid’, presented on 22 December 2022.
The Migration Advisory Council (Adviesraad Migratie) offered the advisory report on use of policy target numbers within the migration domain to the Cabinet on Thursday Dec. 22. The report states that the use of target figures within the migration domain can contribute to a more future-oriented, coherent and socially embedded migration policy. However, target figures must be derived from a broader vision of migration in society and must be applied realistically. In addition, a crucial condition is that the national government has sufficient policy space to actually realize target numbers, otherwise the government will organize its own disappointments. Should the government wish to commit to the use of guide numbers, the Canadian model - with its focus on citizen consultation - offers starting points.
In addition to two other professors, Prof. Dr. M. Lubbers, an associate member of RUNOMI, was asked to write academic explorations for this report. Lubbers explored the state of the art in terms of public attitudes toward migration.
