Research at CMR
CMR research is characterised by interdisciplinary cooperation. CMR has an international orientation and emphasises the relationship between global and European developments and national legal practice.
Programme
The Centre for Migration Law is affiliated to the Research Centre for State & Law. Together with the department for Sociology of Law, CMR forms the 'Migration & Citizenship' sub-programme.
The research focuses on migration law in its broadest sense. Besides global, Union and national asylum and migration law, CMR studies legal and legal sociology issues related to:
- naturalisation, integration, inclusion and equal treatment;
- education and social security;
- nationality and citizenship;
- international family law, children's rights;
- labour market participation, access to the labour market and international labour market issues;
- access to justice and legal protection.
