MIGRAVERIS

Migration is one of the most discussed topics of our time. From the European refugee crisis of 2015 to the current challenges and discussions – hardly any other topic moves people more. Questions of displacement and migration have become central challenges for politics and society in Western countries. But how well-founded are the arguments that are spread in political debates and reporting? From the perspective of migration research, it is clear that migration is a complex topic and it is worth taking a closer look: • Talking about migration: migration background, refugees, integration work? How can we best deal with the many challenges of migration in terms of language? • Global migration trends: Which countries do most refugees and migrants come from – and where are they headed? • Understanding the causes of displacement and migration: What motivates people to leave their homes? Is it mainly conflicts, or is it economic hardship? • Climate change: How much influence does climate change have on global migration movements? Is Europe facing a huge wave of ‘climate refugees’? • Immigration challenges: The exciting history of migration and immigration in Germany and other Western countries – what can we learn from it? • Mastering integration: How can we promote social cohesion and make integration sustainable?
