Finding Agreement in Return (FAiR) // May 2023-April 2026
FAiR addresses the legitimacy deficits that plague policies on return and alternatives to return. It complements dominant rational choice perspectives by assessing the importance of norms, frames and shared meanings for intergovernmental cooperation on return, focusing on 5 non-EU+ (Georgia, Iraq, Niger, Nigeria, Turkey) and 5 EU states+ (Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Switzerland). // Coordinator: Arjen Leerkes (Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
Motivations, experiences and consequences of returns and readmissions policy: revealing and developing effective alternatives (MORE) // October 2023-September 2026
MORE problematises the focus on effectiveness of return. It explores perceptions of return and readmission policies amongst stakeholders as well as their consequences, explores alternative solutions and examines why certain ‘solutions’ are preferred over others. // Coordinator: Olga Jubany (University of Barcelona, Spain)
Improving the living and labour conditions of irregularised migrant households in Europe (I-CLAIM) // April 2023-March 2026
I-Claim investigates the living and working conditions of irregularised migrant households in Europe from an intersectional perspective. It will develop the concept of irregularity assemblages to understand how migrants' irregularity is produced by the interplay of laws, policies and practice, welfare regimes, and political, media and public narrative. // Coordinators: Ilse van Liempt (Utrecht University) and Nando Sigona (University of Birmingham, United Kingdom)
