Work Programme until October 2008
Until end of September 2008 members of A1 will focus on The future of migration between Turkey and Europe: migratory effects of a possible accession of Turkey by preparing a joint publication and a research proposal for external funding. They will furthermore monitor changing migration flows in Eastern Europe and the consequences of post-accession mobility for labour markets in sending and receiving countries. A third group in this research cluster will focus on The future of control and effective measures of controlling irregular migration and wanted migration (both highly skilled and labour migrants). Finally they will address the lack of knowledge, problematic methodologies, blurred concepts and lack of definitions regarding the topic Transit migration and provide both an appropriate typology and theory.
