Researchers at the laboratory analyze migration processes in the globalizing world, work out practical and theoretical recommendations and cooperate with scientific circles as well as mass media and governmental structures, ensuring complex adaptation and integration of foreign citizens.

Foreign experts spoke about migration challenges in their countries. The German experts said that Germany is on the second place after the USA in the rate of migration and the migrants’ flow has been growing recently. In 2015, 800,000 migrants from Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Syria, Kosovo and Bulgaria came to Germany, mostly young males.
