Abstract

The British Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has recently awarded the University of Oxford a grant for a new national research centre on migration. With renewable core-funding for an initial five-year period, the mission of the CENTRE ON MIGRATION, POLICY AND SOCIETY (COMPAS) is to provide a strategic, integrated approach to understanding contemporary and future migration dynamics across sending areas and receiving contexts in the UK and EU. COMPAS staff who are the authors of this document have long-term research experience in the field of international migration. Frank Pieke's main field of expertise is Chinese migration and the impact of diasporic links on sending areas. Nicholas Van Hear is an expert on conflict, migration and development, in particular in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. Steven Vertovec has worked extensively on transnationalism, including the issue of remittances and their impact of sending areas.
