Involved Researcher(s): Drawing on various case studies that reflect the heterogeneity of migration – in South Asia, Central Asia and Switzerland – this research project aims to achieve a more differentiated understanding of the relationship between migration and development, particularly regarding circulation of knowledge and skills, as well as to generate evidence-based recommendations for supporting migrants’ ability to effect positive change. This research is being conducted in coordination of South Asia Office of the NCCR North-South (hosted by NCCR) with the funding obtained from Swiss National Science Foundation and Swiss Agency for Development Co-operation, and is managed by Development Study Group, Department of Geography, University of Zurich.
