HumMingBird – Enhanced migration measures from a multidimensional perspective

Project framework: HORIZON2020

Financed by: European Commission

Team coordinator of the Institute of Economic Sciences: Milena Lazić, PhD

Duration of the project: 2019-2024

Description:

The significance of migration as a social, political, and broader public concern has intensified significantly. Overall improving migration data is a crucial step to improving migration governance since better data is needed in order to bring about sustainable social and economic development and national migrant data strategies are needed to inform good policies. HumMingBird will: identify the uncertainties and reappraise, explore the reasons why migration predictions may not hold, conceptualize “Hubs of Migration”, listen to the migrants on the way to understand the root causes of migration, use big data as proxies for migration measures and examine possible future implications of today’s policy decisions.
