Our researcher and team leader of BiHMOD team, Nermin Oruc, received a scholarship for the summer school “Migrant women on the labour market – identifying determinants and consequences of labour market inequalities considering the intersection between gender and ethnicity”organised by AIAS, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands from 24 to 28 October 2016.
The InGRID project is funded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration under Grant Agreement No 312691 and involves 17 European partners. Referring to the EU2020-ambition of Inclusive Growth, the general objectives of InGRID – Inclusive Growth Research Infrastructure Diffusion – are to integrate and to innovate existing, but distributed European social sciences research infrastructures on ‘Poverty and Living Conditions’ and ‘Working Conditions and Vulnerability’ by providing transnational data access, organizing mutual knowledge exchange activities and improving methods and tools for comparative research.
The summer school aims to offer participants an overview of causes and consequences of belonging to a ‘vulnerable’ group on the labour market. It will also provide a clear understanding of how to identify and analyse vulnerable groups with a mixed-method approach. In addition, the topic will be approached from a political and organisational perspective by introducing and discussing solutions and best practices in Europe.
The summer school will combine lessons on substantive topics in the morning with methodological workshops in the afternoon. Participants will be encouraged to present their own research to receive feedback from senior colleagues.
