This project aims to provide early-stage researchers with the opportunity to improve their skills, to join the main research teams already established, and thus enhance their research career.
This project arises from an already established cooperation on the themes of diversity, immigration and cultural policies. The network is based on the three research centres that coordinate the Standing Committee of IMISCOE "Popular Art, Diversity and Cultural Policies in Post-Migration Urban Settings - POPADIVCIT": GRITIM-UPF, CEDEM- University of Liège (Belgium), and the Institute for Urban and Regional Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna (Austria). IMISCOE (http://www.imiscoe.org) is the largest European network of researchers in the field of migration and integration.

GRITIM-UPF researchers involved: Ricard Zapata Barrero and Lorenzo Gabrielli.
