Transnational Migration, Citizenship and the Circulation of Rights and Responsibilities (TRANSMIC)

Outreach

Transnational migration, circular movements, and the rights and responsibilities linked to this mobility are high on the policy agenda of the EU and its member states. TRANSMIC envisaged a number of different outreach activities with the aim to enhance communication between the scientific community, policy-makers, and the general public. Maastricht University, the lead partner of the TRANSMIC project, closely collaborates with the Maastricht Centre for Citizenship, Migration and Development (MACIMIDE) when implementing the TRANSMIC outreach activities.
