Summary
The specific objectives of the MIRNet project are as follows: 1) to institutionalize migration and integration research carried out at Tallinn University by establishing the Migration and Integration Research Centre (MIRC); to advance the quality and volume of research on migration and integration issues in cooperation between the MIRNet project partners; to advance networking between academic researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders in the field of migration and integration in Estonia and the MIRNet partner countries; to advance public dissemination skills of the MIRC regarding the research results in the field migration and integration. These objectives will be achieved in partnership between Tallinn University (TU), Sussex University (UoS), Roskilde University (RU) and University of Tampere (UTA). The Sussex Centre for Migration Research is one of the largest and most widely respected specialist migration research institutes anywhere in the world and home to the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, the highest-ranked interdisciplinary migration journal in 2016. Roskilde University is a leading research institution in the region focusing on a broad range of topics in the field of ethnic relations and nationalism, including migration and integration, the politics of diversity and linguistic minorities. Research Centre on Transnationalism and Transformation at the University of Tampere is a leading multi-disciplinary network organisation focusing on the ways in which an increase in transnational activities is connected to political, socio-economic and socio-cultural transformation in different parts of the world. The experience, knowledge and authority of these three leading research institutions in the field will provide a perfect guide to Tallinn University and the MIRC in achieving the objectives outlined above.
