Migration Research to Policy Co-Lab’s Post

Explore Europe’s regions! We are excited to present you the regional profiles of our selected research sites! In the CLEAR research project, we seek to better understand how educational challenges and local socio-economic structures interact to produce diverse learning outcomes. In the course of the project, we have selected 16 specific regions in 8 of our participating EU member countries, in which we conduct our empirical analyses and participatory Innovation Forums. The regional profiles result from our initial analyses of the field and entail diverse information about the regions: the educational provision, socio-economic characteristics, regional performance and the resulting policy challenges. The profiles also inform about the groups facing multiple disadvantages and, thus, deserving a specific attention when designing suitable policy solutions, but also give account on how learning outcomes are contextualised in each of the country. We herewith invite you to explore Europe’s regions –from Kainuu in Finland to Barcelona in Spain and from Lisbon in Portugal to Gabrovo in Bulgaria – and get exclusive insights into current regional developments. With just a click, you can delve deeper into each region and get the information both in English and local languages (!). 🔗 Ready to explore? Simply follow the link: https://lnkd.in/e-jDrQ4x

An opportunity in the school of Media and Communication:

SHENAZ Kermalli has exceptional talent for upacking how ideas or reports are presented, revealing their intricate complexities and hidden agendas with remarkable insight and clarity. This course is very pertinent in today's political and media mess!

When discussing or sharing detailed research in Pakistan, it’s often clear that there’s a disconnect between the emphasis on critical thinking and in-depth analysis and the actual quality of ideas being presented. While people may speak in broad terms or claim to engage in deep, critical thought, the reality is that these discussions frequently lack substance and depth. While the quantity of published papers and self-citations may be on the rise, the quality of actual academic discussion remains disappointingly shallow. Conversations on research ideas and solutions often fizzle out within two minutes, lacking substance or depth. Instead of engaging in meaningful discourse, many are focused on sharing posts, talking big, and boosting numbers without truly advancing knowledge or innovative thinking.
