Migration, Conflict and Social Transformation (MIKOWA) Forschungsplattform
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

Publication of the final report on the VASiB project

A BTU study shows that decentralised accommodation for refugees in Brandenburg is possible and has been shown to offer them advantages over living in collective accommodation. Nevertheless, the state continues to house refugees predominantly in collective accommodation. This is shown in the final report on the VASiB collaborative project by the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.
