The Lab is a non-profit organisation constituted by migration scholars and practitioners to provide research services to various stakeholders and groups working on migration, integration and social justice.
INTEGRIM (“Integration and international migration: pathways and integration policies”) was a Marie Skłodowska Curie research training programme developed under the EU Seventh Framework Programme. While the programme ended in 2017, some of the fellows involved in the network set up the Lab as a way to continue working collaboratively and advocate for knowledge-driven policy-making and applied research practices.
The Lab wants to bridge the gap between research, policy-making and practice.
