Entanglements of Migration and Time in Post-industrial Urban Europe

Project description

Migration’s socio-cultural inequalities in European post-industrial cities

Europe’s post-industrial cities are struggling to address a variety of challenges, ranging from migration and integration to social and environmental change. This results in both temporal and socio-cultural inequalities. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MITIME project will train the next generation of migration scholars and practitioners. Its focus is on understanding and addressing socio-cultural inequalities through a nuanced perspective on migration processes, foregrounding time as a key vector of institutional and everyday life. The programme will train doctoral candidates using innovative methodologies and effective communication strategies to influence policy and raise public awareness. This initiative involves collaboration among seven universities and nine partner institutions to develop Europe’s future migration experts.

Objective

MITIME (Entanglements of Migration and Time in Post-industrial Urban Europe) is a pioneering interdisciplinary Doctoral Network that addresses critical challenges of migration, integration and societal change in post-industrial European cities. The primary objective is to support, train, and champion the next generation of migration scholars and practitioners to investigate, understand and ameliorate the temporal and socio-cultural inequalities of migration. Our ambition is to offer a critical lens of temporality to analyse, understand and combat social inequalities and promote social inclusion in specific urban settings. MITIME reaches beyond the idea of linear trajectories of migratory processes from departure to arrival to settlement as envisaged by conventional understandings in migration research and policy-making, towards more nuanced understandings of diversified mobilities and the complicated temporalities of migration. To this end, MITIME proposes a high-level, personalized and multidisciplinary training program of core and transferable skills designed to prepare 15 doctoral candidates for future impactful careers across scientific fields and societal institutions. It combines excellence in research training, novel methodological techniques, and ethical and reflexive approaches with the co-production of knowledge and active engagement with key stakeholders in civil society, policy and governance. Training includes effective communication and dissemination of research outcomes to raise public awareness and inform key actors in migration policy about solutions and envisioned alternatives. MITIME draws from the collaborative expertise of the European University of Cities in Post-Industrial Transition (UNIC) consortium, aligning seven leading universities for migration research with nine diverse societal Associated Partner institutions to train Europe’s future migration experts in innovative, cross-sectoral professional skills and critical know-how.
