Work Programme until October 2008
B5's work is subdivided into four main activities: 1) research development and project work, 2) publication of a selection of B5 papers/reports, 3) a PhD Summer Course, Lisbon, Portugal, July 2008 and 4) the organisation of two workshops. The first activity concerns the international project GEITONIES (which will focus on the neighbourhood level and the representations, daily practices and interactions that affect relations between social and ethnic groups) and the international project MIGHEALTHNET. The PhD Summer Course aims to provide a week of training for IMISCOE PhD students focussing on general methodological issues, thesis writing and guidelines for publishing. Reflecting CEG’s know-how in cartography and GIS an additional course will be offered to introduce students to cartographic analysis. Finally, the two workshops will cover the topics Growing Points in the Study of Migration, Integration and Health and Inter-ethnic Tolerance and Neighbourhood Integration. More info:...
