Giacomo Solano and Roza Meuleman received an ODISSEI LISS Panel Grant for their research project called ‘Networking for resources: A conjoint experiment on women’s and migrants’ networks’. The LISS panel grant offers financing for data collection via the LISS panel. The project focuses on women and migrants who often face disadvantages in the labour market, including lower wages, higher unemployment, and underemployment.

Also Qiyan Ong and Katarzyna Burzynska received an ODISSEI Microdata Access Grant for their research project called ‘Gateways to Migrant Inclusion: Leadership Diversity and Migrant Labour-Market Outcomes in the Netherlands’. The Microdata Access Grant (MAG) gives recipients free access to CBS microdata, as well as up to €7,500 in financial support per project. This project examines whether diversity in organisational leadership—for example, having managers or board members with a migration background—can help reduce inequalities. After all, people with a migration background continue to face disadvantages in the Dutch labour market, including lower pay, less job stability, and fewer chances for promotion.
