About us

OTKA K-21 K138160 "Frontiers of a possible European grand strategy - illegal migration as an indicator" aims to define the European Union's geographical sphere of interest by looking at illegal migration trends in different regions and to identify the geographical space that the EU considers as its strategic sphere of interest and in which it should act in its own interest in case of crisis.

Researchers will present the results of the project at biannual conferences at the National University of Public Service and its partner institutions, and in publications that will be published continuously throughout the project period. In addition, the results of the research will be continuously "channelled" to the relevant officials in the public administration and presented in academic teaching and the media.

Most of the 15 participants of the project has had academic experience with the migration issue. The leader of the project, Erzsébet N. Rózsa was the head of an EU-funded project under the title of Mapping Migration Challenges in the EU Transit and Destination Countries; organized a series of roundtables on Islam and migration.  Viktor Marsai and Norbert Tóth were/are working for the Migration Institute. András Kóré, besides being a PhD student, works at the Hungary Helps program. The participants-to-be have published altogether some 30 academic papers related to the different aspects of the proposed research project.
