Research > CReAM at RFBerlin
CReAM at RFBerlin – the Centre for Research and Analysis on Migration at RFBerlin is dedicated to the production, promotion and dissemination of empirical research on migration-related topics.
It serves as an umbrella for the research on migration conducted at RFBerlin, and at its sister institutions, ROCKWOOL partner unit in Copenhagen and the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) at University College London, and helps distribute research findings across Europe and around the world.
In addition, CReAM @ RFBerlin is a knowledge hub for information and expertise on issues related to migration that are of public and policy importance.
Specifically, we collect and present information on European and global migration movements, prepare relevant data to address important questions in the public debate on migration, monitor research on migration and related issues, and synthesise knowledge related to the welfare of native and immigrant communities.
