Since 2016, I coordinate the joint Centro Studi Luca d’Agliano and Collegio Carlo Alberto Migration Observatory. The observatory aims at promoting analytical knowledge on topical issues such as the wider economic and social impacts of immigration on receiving and sending countries and the implications of different migration policies, from an international and cross-disciplinary perspective. It also aims at facilitating the dissemination of academic research on migration to a wider audience.

• The preparation of an annual report dedicated to the analysis of the socio-economic integration of immigrants in Europe
