The Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration (CERC)

The CERC in Migration and Integration is the first ever CERC awarded to Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University, renamed in April 2022), building on the university’s strengths and commitments in the area of immigration and settlement studies. The CERC in Migration and Integration is led by Professor Anna Triandafyllidou. The program is producing innovative and usable knowledge on the links between migration and post-migration processes, forced and voluntary mobility, internal and international migration, and the role of countries of origin and transit. The CERC pays special attention to Canadian realities while also engaging in comparative research with and among other countries in various global regions.

Migration Matters

Migration Matters is a non-profit organization that was founded by four women in January 2016 in response to media coverage about the so-called refugee crisis. We are based in Berlin, Germany. Our mission is to support the public in holding more nuanced and evidence-based conversations about migration. We produce bite-sized video series that complicate commonly held preconceptions with original ideas, research, and solutions-oriented perspectives from leading thinkers in the field: researchers, practitioners, as well as migrants and refugees themselves. Our videos are used widely across Europe and beyond in classrooms, teacher and journalist trainings, online journalism, social media campaigns, and advocacy efforts.
