Call for Applicants: MiReKoc International Summer School

The Migration Research Center at Koç University announces a call for applicants for the MiReKoc International Summer School of 2013 entitled, "The Political Economy of International Migration: Labour, Markets, and Development." This summer program is designed to bring together different theoretical and empirical debates on the economy-international migration nexus, which focuses on the perspectives of three main actors of international migration: the migrants, receiving countries/communities, and sending countries/communities. Two weeks of lectures and discussions given and led by a distinguished international faculty will also be combined with field trips within Istanbul involving seminars given by policy-makers and implementers. The programme is designed for PhD and graduate students as well as junior experts in the field. While applications from all over the world are encouraged, this year only five merit-based scholarships will be available for candidates from the Central and Eastern Europe (i.e., Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Serbia). Applications are due by April 1, 2013. Please see the program website for more information.
