The first phase of the regional InQuire Migration Research Laboratory Program was successfully completed with the tenth session held on March 28, 2024, in online format. The program is implemented with participants from the countries of the Western Balkans and Türkiye with the support of the regional WB-MIGNET network.
The tenth session focused on the topic of migration and integration, using the example of two case studies from Croatia. The session was led by Dr. Sanja Klempić Bogadi, Research Adviser and Head of the Department for Migration and Demographic Research at the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies in Croatia. The first case study dealt with the topic of integration of migrants from Bosnia and Herzegovina in Croatia and was part of the project entitled The Effect of Immigration from Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Socio-Demographic Development of Croatian Urban Regions. The second case study dealt with the topic of the development of a data collection system on the social inclusion of persons with international protection in the Republic of Croatia. This case study is part of a project called INCLuDE – Intersectoral Cooperation in the Empowerment of Third-Country Nationals.
In the continuation of the implementation of the program, the participants work on the first drafts of their project proposals, and in the third part of the implementation of the program, the participants will have the opportunity to participate in sessions that involve spreading and acquiring knowledge and skills about planning and conducting research in the social sciences.
