Theorizing the Evolution of European Migration Systems (THEMIS)
Led by
Cindy Horst
Sep 2009 - Dec 2013
Under what conditions do initial moves by pioneer migrants to Europe result in rapidly expanding network migration and the formation of migration systems, and under which conditions does this not happen? The THEMIS project will address this question theoretically, and through an empirical study of three migrant groups. Fieldwork will be conducted in eight cities in the the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal and United Kingdom.
THEMIS is funded by the NORFACE research programme on Migration in Europe. The projects is co-ordinated by the University of Oxford. In addition to PRIO, the project team includes the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, and the University of Lisbon.
