I have done research on migration-related themes for more than fourteen years. Worked at international organisations in Turkey and universities in five different countries (Canada, Italy, Luxembourg, Turkey, UK). Currently, I am engaged in my post-doctoral research at the IMT School for Advanced Studies, Lucca. I am reviewing for a couple of important scientific journals on migration and my research interests are quite broad: highly skilled migrants from Italy and Turkey and brain drain, mobility vs. migration from a theoretical lens, Turkish migration policies in the light of Turkish-EU relations, temporary migration policies in Canada and the UK, literary works of Turkish-Kurdish authors in exile, integration policies regarding migrants and refugees, and cultural policies and cultural heritage in Italy (this is more based on my political science background).

Mapping mobility – pathways, institutions and structural effects of youth mobility, Final Public Project Report

Authors Sahizer Samuk, Birte Nienaber, Jutta Bissinger, ...
Description
This report is a synthesis of the main results of the H2020 project MOVE – Mapping mobility, institutions and structural effects of youth mobility in Europe. Over three years the project MOVE has provided a research-informed contribution to a systematic analysis of intra-European mobility. The project departed its work by differentiating six mobility types that have diverse institutional frameworks, age specific constraints and scopes of action. The project has thus analysed and reconstructed mobility patterns that lie across different types of mobility, which are: • student mobility for higher education, • international volunteering, • employment mobility, • mobility for vocational and educational training, • pupil’s exchange, • entrepreneurship mobility. These identified six mobility types have been investigated in the following six European countries: • Germany, • Hungary, • Luxembourg, • Norway, • Romania and • Spain.
