On 1 February 2018, I moved to Florence to start a new position at the European University Institute's Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies. In specific, I now work as a postdoctoral research associate in the Global Mobilities Project at the Migration Policy Centre, together with Ettore Recchi and Andrew Geddes. We intend to set up a Global Mobilities Database (GMD), collecting information on a large palette of spatial mobilities, as well as their demographic, economic, sociological and legal-political aspects. Drawing on a range of sources from international organizations to private companies, from digital-trace to administrative data, the GMD will cover connections between countries from around the world in a longitudinal perspective. |
