Dear all,

We are excited to announce the call for the MIrreM Spring School “Approaching Irregular Migration from a Quantitative Perspective: Data, Estimates, Methods”.

It will take place 19 - 21 March 2025 on the campus of the University for Continuing Education Krems, Austria. It offers intensive training in the use and interpretation of available data and estimates related to irregular migration. Participants will engage in hands-on courses on: statistical indicators and estimation methods for irregular migration; conceptual discussions about measuring stocks and flows; and defining migrants with irregular status. The program combines these practical sessions with lectures by experienced researchers and moderated discussions involving practitioners and policymakers.

Application Deadline: 18 December 2024

Participation in the Spring School is free of charge. Coffee, light snacks, lunch, and one welcome dinner will be provided. Participants are responsible for covering their own expenses. However, partial bursaries are available for those unable to secure financial support from their home institutions or without institutional affiliations. These bursaries cover accommodation in Krems, and in justified cases, a contribution towards transport costs may also be considered.
