Migration, Conflict and Social Change (MIKOWA)

Group of twelve people, part of the team of the MIKOWA research platform, standing on the staircase of the university's library

Since its foundation in 2017, the research platform MIKOWA has developed into a place for scientific discourse and theory-practice discourse.

The focus is on application-oriented and basic theoretical analyses at the micro, meso and macro levels on:

Conflicts around migration, diversity and participation
Conflicts over migration and social inequality
Conflicts caused by the mobilization of (extreme) right-wing groups
Mobility and migration in and from authoritarian states
Regional structural change and conviviality

Besides our special events (see below), there are also some weekly events happening in our partner network. Please find those listed here.
