Training & Awards

Training of researchers is an essential task of the Network. By pooling the resources and expertise of its partners and members, IMISCOE facilitates the highest quality training for all Network members. It also makes long-term investments in the broader field by opening its training facilities to non-members. To this aim, the Network organizes annual winter- or summer schools for PhD's, as well as specific training modules at other IMISCOE events.

Research on this group, while still in its infancy, focuses on a variety of themes: care for and by ageing migrants, transnationalism, active ageing, inter-generational relations, return migration, health, well-being and vulnerability, rights and social policies, social networks, labour market participation, and much more.
