Migration and Families Network

The network brings together academics,

policymakers and practitioners to improve understanding about

the experiences of migrant families in Europe

About us

The Migration and Families Network was launched in February  2017 to provide a forum for debate and the exchange of knowledge for those researching and working on migration from the family perspective. The network brings together academics, policymakers and practitioners from across Europe to increase understanding about the experiences of migrant families in Europe. Our objective is to organise conferences, seminars and publications to raise awareness about the experiences of migrant families in Europe and influence policy and practice in relation to family migration at the local, national and international level.
