About the New Series by EuroMedMig PhD Network

The EuroMedMig Working Paper Series is a peer-reviewed, open-access platform dedicated to innovative Mediterranean migration scholarship. From 2026, the series will operate within the EuroMedMig Doctoral Network (UPF), fostering "Mediterranean Thinking" by bridging senior and early-career research. It covers four key pillars: Geopolitics, Governance, Social Relations, and Economic Dynamics, ensuring a gender-sensitive and interdisciplinary approach to the Global Migration Agenda.
