CReAM Reseach
Our Projects
CReAM brings together researchers from RFBerlin and its partner institutions to advance empirical research on migration and related economic and social issues.
Our work spans three broad and interconnected areas: the economic and social impacts of migration, the integration of migrants, and the policies and politics that shape migration and its outcomes. Across these areas, our researchers draw on a wide range of empirical methods and the latest methodological advances to produce rigorous research to the highest international standards.
