We are happy to invite you to a new edition of the BIRMM Research Day. Book your calendars for the 13th of May!
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) conducts a wide variety of research on migration and diversity, spread over many disciplines, departments and research institutes.

BIRMM is co-directed by Prof. Ilke Adam and Prof. Florian Trauner (both BSoG-VUB) and a board of delegates with one representative per research centre or department. It is coordinated by dr. Hannah Vermaut.
