Research training

Research collaboration within the Nordic countries in the field of international migration and ethnic relations is needed particularly because of the multidisciplinary nature of the field. In addition, the field is highly topical both academically and socio-politically. Still, many of the researchers cannot necessarily find colleagues working with the same issues in their home environments. Furthermore, profiling Nordic research jointly in international research environment aims at giving more visibility and opportunities for young researchers.

In terms of research training in the field, there are courses, practices and institutions in the Nordic countries, and a large number of students in different disciplines. However, there is presently very little cross-national co-ordination of the training efforts, and no formal Nordic co-operation.

As a first step in enabling closer cooperation between Nordic research students in this field NMR is awarding travel grants to selected Ph.d. students for specific events and conferences.
