Short description

The aim of MiDem is to understand the role of migrants in the circulation of democratic and illiberal ideas in the Baltic Sea Region. The project establishes international network of migration scholars from the Nordic countries, Eastern and Central Europe. The network will develop a set of research projects, which will study from different disciplinary and methodological perspectives how migrants participate in the transfer of ideas, values and discourses across the national borders. The project is an international collaboration between the countries in the Baltic Sea Region.
