Objective
This RTN seeks to develop a framework of European level training on one of the key areas of migration and ethnic studies. The originality of the RTN is to be built on an European comparative survey -the TIES survey- that investigates processes of integration in 15 cities in eight countries (Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland). 12 ESRs and 2 ERs will be involved in an ambitious research project and will be trained by-doing.
The TIES survey will tackle the broad issue of integration by looking more specifically at the second generation - the children born of immigrant parentage. The acquired position of the second generation -here the Turkish, Moroccan, Greek and ex-Yugoslavian second generation (18-35) and a native ag e group-, in the domains of education, labour market, housing, identity, social relations, family formation, transnationalism, religion, will be analysed through an international standardized survey.
The interdisciplinary research team that composes the RT N aims to provide a truly international training experience for the ESRs and ERs. They will work in an international team on a European project making use of a unique international data set on the second generation gathered by some of the leading European institutes on migration and ethnic studies. Most of the participating institutes are member of the EU funded network of excellence IMISCOE. The RTN will offer wide training activities in close cooperation with the training committee of IMISCOE. The ESRs will have access to IMISCOE conferences
