Land.Zuhause.Zukunft is a collaboration of Robert Bosch Stiftung and the University of Hildesheim.
University of Hildesheim (SUH) – Migration Policy Research Group
The University of Hildesheim became a university in its own right in 1978 and a Foundation under Public Law in 2003 – one of the first of its kind in Germany. The range of subjects covers study courses in Educational and Social Sciences, Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Communication, Linguistics and Information Science, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics and Computer Science. Trans- and interdisciplinary centres, graduate schools and endowment professorships strengthen the University’s research profile. More than 8,500 students are currently enrolled at the University.
The SUH also focuses on transmitting the results of academic research into practice. To this end, the Research and Transfer Office for Migration Policy and the Migration Policy Research Group (MPRG) were established. The MPRG investigates how local governments and communities shape the multi-level governance of (forced) migration.
The Land.Zuhause.Zukunft program office is associated with the MPRG and the Research and Transfer Office for Migration Policy.
