Document:
The TRANSMIG - Transnational Practices in Migration research group was founded in collaboration between Stockholm University (CEIFO/Department of Anthropology) and The Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures (RICC), Manchester University, and joined by The University of Helsinki (CEREN/Swedish School of Social Science) and Malmö University (MIM). In 2009-11 it has been placed at CEIFO, Stockholm University and led by Prof. Erik Olsson. Since 2012 it is placed at MIM, Malmö University, where it was led by Prof. Maja Povrzanović Frykman in 2012-2018. Dr. Brigitte Suter, researcher at MIM, coordinates the group from July 2018.
initiates and realizes publications falling under the main headings of Transnational Practices in Migration.
The central scientific aim is to promote a transnational perspective in migration research and deal with the methodological challenges posed by research on institutionalized and grassroots practices that transgress national borders. The workshops arranged by TRANSMIG bring together scholars engaged in research of transnational practices.
The Group’s long-term aim is to continue publishing the TRANSMIG workshops-based articles in peer-reviewed journals and books, as well as to generally support the members’ publications and research applications by making use of intra-group peer-reviewing.
An important long-term aim is also to facilitate meetings of researchers at different stages of their careers and offer collegial help of senior and distinguished scholars to early stage researchers. The participation of PhD students is thus especially encouraged in all TRANSMIG activities.

Standing Committees involve research clusters that have been established for a longer period of time, and have a broad programme of activities and a broad audience that they serve within IMISCOE.
Research Groups involve new research initiatives that focus on a very specific line of activity and a specific group of researchers geared to that.
