Every year, the Global Migration Centre rewards one Graduate Institute student for their outstanding Master thesis in the field of migration.
What is the Global migration award
The Global Migration Award consists of:
- the opportunity to publish the thesis within the Global Migration Research Paper Series, and
- a prize of CHF 1'000.
The Master's Dissertation must be related to migration in its broad sense (including mobility, forced or voluntary migration, transnational or internal displacement, citizenship, diaspora, discrimination, racism, and the many other issues linked to the movement of persons). The perspective and methodology can be interdisciplinary or disciplinary alongside the main fields of the Graduate Institute, (i.e., international relations, political science, international law, international history, international economics, development studies, anthropology, and sociology of development). Master’s theses can be written in French or English.
