Research Group on Migration and Processes of Development

Description

The InMIDE research group is made up of professors, researchers and professionals from different disciplines and institutions who analyse the links between migratory flows and development processes, from their social, economic, cultural and political dimensions.
The main objective of the group's research is to reveal the impact of migration on the development of the countries of origin of migration. The research is carried out in the fields of co-development, development cooperation and transnationalism led by migrants themselves, as well as the role played by other institutional actors (public bodies) and civil society (NGOs and migrants' associations). The research is aimed at both the analysis of public policies and practices in these areas.
