About MIUM-TIE
Managing International Urban Migration - Turkey, Italia, España (MIUM-TIE), is an 18-month project financed by the Universities Grant Scheme under the EU funded "Promotion of Civil Society Dialogue between the EU and Turkey Project." MIUM-TIE is a partnership program between Koc University in Turkey, Universite IUAV di Venezia in Italy and Universita de Cadiz in Spain. The overall management of the project is administered by the Migration Research Center (MIREKOC) at Koc University.
Through conducting multidisciplinary comparative research on international migration in urban areas of Turkey, Italy and Spain and initiating a dynamic dialogue among related stakeholders (policy-makers, civil society activists, public officials, experts and researchers), as its' main objective, the MIUM-TIE project aims to enhance an understanding of the challenges posed by international migration flows into the cities of EU "border" countries, as well as to identify sound strategies for dealing with increasingly multicultural and diverse urban societies. Through the various project activities proposed under the 6 work-packages, including comparative multidisciplinary research, networking and exchange of visiting lecturers and researchers, international conferences and workshops, a pilot training course, as well as publications, the project also seeks to fulfill more specific objectives, such as raising the awareness of policy-makers and the civil society at large, on the importance of international migrants' urban inclusion, and enhancing an effective urban governance approach for the social and spatial inclusion of international migrants, through the exchange of information on urban policies, practices and tools.
