The Centre for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM), founded in 1995, is a research centre in the Social Sciences Institute of the University of Liège (Belgium).
The aim of our conference is to disseminate the research results of the ERC-funded project (MiTSoPro), led by Jean-Michel Lafleur at the Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies of the University of Liège.
The consortium - of which the University of Liège is a member - is committed to developing a common approach to research to build bridges between universities and their cities.
The Final Conference will present the main research results and the ways through which an impact on grassroots practice, research and policy has been envisaged and already partially achieved by the project.
CEDEM counts with a dynamic and international team of scholars conducting empirically and theoretically grounded research on migration, ethnic relations and racism from a multidisciplinary perspective.
CEDEM researchers have a strong research expertise on topics such as: migration trends, migrants' socio-political mobilisation, migration policy, migration and arts, transnationalism, citizenship, Islam in Europe.
CEDEM has been awarded numerous research grants from organisations such as FRS-FNRS, Belspo, the European Commission, ERC, the Council of Europe, IOM, etc.
CEDEM offers a wide range of courses studying migration and the phenomena that can accompany them from a multidisciplinary perspective.
