Crossing Borders at LISER


The Research Program on Crossing Borders has specific objectives: (i) Assess the size and structure of historical and recent cross-border flows, and understand their root drivers; (ii) Use innovative sources of data to study the interplay between different forms of mobility; (iii) Analyze the economic and societal consequences of these flows for all parties concerned; (iv) Build projection tools to anticipate future movements; (v) Develop tools to help policy decision-makers maximize the gains and/or minimize the cost of current and future movements; (vi) Provide stakeholders and the civil society with databases and expert analyses that help them understanding the forces at work and the consequences of policy actions.


ACROSS Doctoral Training Unit


ACROSS is a Doctoral Training Unit created in 2020 and funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR's PRIDE funding scheme).

It gathers economists and geographers from LISER, from the Department of Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg, and from the Research Division of STATEC.

The three partner institutions aim to create a team of excellence on cross-border mobility, a team where migration and labor market scholars can interact together with data providers, and where new generations of PhD students can benefit from synergies between institutions.
