a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to the study of social and political transformations
associated with population mobility and growing cultural diversity.

We aim to develop a global vision of these changes, beyond an exclusive focus on migrants and their descendants, to consider the transformations caused by the transnational to the local level, in both urban and rural areas.
In recent years, the study of long-term processes affecting our ‘migrant societies’ has been accompanied by growing attention to the dynamics associated with so-called mixed flows and forced migrations.
In an era of such great salience of migration issues, the main challenge is to join together, on the one hand, the need for scientific study of a phenomenon characterised by growing complexity and, on the other, the importance of making the knowledge produced useful to institutional and non-institutional actors, as well as to a wider audience of citizens.

FIERI’s research activity is divided into the following 4 thematic areas
which we consider strongly connected
