Research on the move | Bi-Lateral Workshop MoHu & EUI
Overview
“Research on the Move. A Bi-lateral Workshop between Padua and Florence” is a project based on a series of seminars to be held at the European University Institute (EUI) – Department of History and Civilisation (HEC) on 30 April 2025 and in Padua at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility & Humanities (MoHu) on 12 June 2025, organised by the Migration and Mobility Working Group of the European University Institute and the MA Programme in Mobility Studies of the University of Padova.
The event invites PhD students from the HEC department at the EUI, as well as advanced Masters students and PhD students from the MA Mobility Studies and PhD programme in Historical, Geographical and Anthropological Studies at the Universities of Padua and Venice Ca’ Foscari, to present and discuss their ongoing projects on various aspects of the history of mobility and migration. The workshop will provide advanced Masters students and PhD students with a forum for academic discussion and additional external feedback on their work. It will also provide an opportunity for networking between two leading research centres in the field of the history of mobility and for promoting the PhD programmes, in particular to Master’s students.
The project series
The project includes a series of events organised by the Migration and Mobility Working Group of the HEC Department and the MoHu in the first half of 2025:
