Offer Description
EuroMedMig PhD Network is funded by the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Actions (Doctoral Networks), under the Call: HORIZON-MSCA--DN-*. The PhD candidates will be incorporated in the respective PhD programmes in September ** for three years. It is an initiative of EuroMedMig (Euro-Mediterranean Research Network on Migrations) – UPF, an independent interdisciplinary platform of researchers promoting multilateral knowledge production and exchange both between Universities and with Policy and Social actors.
EuroMedMig PhD Network seeks to promote a sound community of leading Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) in the field of migration and refugees in the Mediterranean region, offering a meeting point for a variety of methodologies, disciplines and levels of analysis, connecting the new generation of outstanding researchers from the South, North, East and West of the Mediterranean.
The core philosophy is to promote multilateral knowledge production and exchange, with 10 partner universities and 6 associate partners from all rims of the Mediterranean, which ensures a plurality of perspectives by incorporating the Mediterranean as a regional scale of migration research with shared epistemological principles, avoiding research generalisations and knowledge-centrism, and with intercultural and humanitarian values.
The main objective of EuroMedMig PhD Network is twofold:
to ensure an innovative research agenda on Mediterranean migrations for the coming years, and
to create promising avenues for further research by bringing together a community of top young researchers from all shores of the Mediterranean and a variety of topics and research lines, disciplines and methodologies.
The EuroMedMig PhD network is structured around three main guiding principles
Pillar 1: Promoting Research Excellence:
EuroMedMig PhD Network promotes Mediterranean migration studies and seeks to be a platform of researchers sharing epistemological principles away from Eurocentrism and generalisations when researching migrations in the Mediterranean. It facilitates cross-discipline approaches, innovative policy frameworks related to Mediterranean human mobility, diversity management, integration principles, geopolitical thinking and advances migration governance frameworks.
Pillar 2: Developing Advanced Training
for ESRs interested in Mediterranean migration studies in the form of thematic and methodological training courses and lectures. It also seeks to develop advanced learning through interaction with policy makers, CSOs, media, consultants and experts specialised in Mediterranean Migration Studies.
Pillar 3: Fostering Policy and Social Dialogues:
Promoting evidence-based research and social/policy dialogue between practitioners and stakeholders, and ESRs on Mediterranean Migration challenges.
This call looks at promising pioneering research projects with innovative research contributions within
THEME 4
[1] :
ECONOMY AND LABOUR MARKET:
Mediterranean migrations have significant implications for the economy and labour markets in the region. Some key points to tentatively consider include: shaping labour market dynamics (migrants contribute to the labour force, filling gaps in various sectors and often by engaging in low?skilled or manual labour, including agriculture, construction, and domestic work), high skilled migrants working for the global Mediterranean economy, positive and negative economic impact assessment (businesses creation and entrepreneurial trans?Mediterranean ventures stimulating national/regional/local economies), so?called irregular migrants and the informal economy (this may refer to work that is not regulated, lacks social protection, and often offers low wages and poor working conditions), or successful integration of migrants into the labour market. Jobs and labour resources, including access to education, language training, and skills development programs enhancing migrants' employability, will also be considered. Policies that promote the recognition of foreign qualifications and skills can also contribute to better labour market outcomes for migrants.
