Welcome to the new
ICMPD Research website

A dedicated platform for the latest publications, projects and updates on ICMPD’s research activities.

What we do

The Research Unit of ICMPD was established in 1997, and ever since has been committed to advancing knowledge on migration-related issues. We strive to foster cooperation within the research community and meet the growing need for policy-relevant research.

Our research topics, closely aligned with ICMPD’s main thematic areas, are as follows:

Migration Governance and Policy Making

Safe Migration, Displacement and Protection

Regular Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion

Migration Trends and Dynamics

Cross-Project Insights and Contributions

Our work is characterised by empirical, interdisciplinary studies with practical and impactful outcomes. We work closely on projects and publications with other teams and units across ICMPD and with external partners, and the website is the central hub for those collective efforts, showcasing the unique contributions and expertise of our research work.

Here, a diverse audience – including academics, policymakers, practitioners, students, journalists, and NGOs – can access a wide range of publications, project details and insights that contribute to the discourse on migration. Explore our extensive collection of publications, gain insights into our diverse projects and stay informed about the latest updates on our current and upcoming work.
