COFUND MDC and MIM: Building Collaborative Perspectives on Migration and Integration
On 26 October 2026, the COFUND Migration, Diaspora, Citizenship (MDC) programme at the University of Münster, Germany, joined hands with the Malmö Institute for Migration Studies (MIM), Malmö University, Sweden, to organize a joint workshop entitled Reimagining Migration and Integration: Governance, Mobilities, and Everyday Negotiations. Hosted at MIM in Malmö, the workshop created an interdisciplinary space for researchers to exchange ideas, discuss emerging research, and explore opportunities for future collaboration. The workshop was initiated and led by Dr Azher Hameed Qamar (postdoctoral researcher in COFUND MDC, University of Münster and guest researcher at MIM). Dr Svitlana Babenko (project researcher at MIM, Malmö University) supported the initiative as coordinator and co-organizer at the host institution. This interdisciplinary initiative gathered international researchers to discuss border governance, transnational diaspora engagement, and everyday models of integration, directly advancing COFUND MDC’s core mission to foster cross-border research networks.
