SUMMARY:Mobility of International Students and Trainees into the EU - Cosmopolitanism Meets Migration Management
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the lecture “Mobility of International Students and Trainees into the EU – Cosmopolitanism meets Migration Management” delivered by Prof. Tesseltje de Lange (Radboud University in Nijmegen\, the Netherlands)\, a member of the Link4Skills Advisory Board.  \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the ongoing exploration of skill development for a resilient Europe within the framework of the Link4Skills project (https://link4skills.eu/)\, funded by the European Union (Horizon 2023). \n\n\n\nPlease send information to your colleagues and every one\, who might be interested. \n\n\n\nDetails:📅 Date: June: 17\, 2025⏰ Time: 16:00 CET🌐 Location: Online \n\n\n\n🔗 Registration link Registration open until June 15. \n\n\n\n❗𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓: The meeting link will be sent to registered participants after the registration closes. \n\n\n\nThis lecture kicks-off with an assessment of legal migration pathways for international students and trainees into the EU. The international mobility of students and trainees was traditionally focused on cosmopolitanism and development goals which resulted in the EU Students and Researchers Directive. Retaining sought after international talents for EU labour markets was\, and still is\, a prominent policy goal. However\, reflecting broader shifts in the policy and political environment\, visa’s for students and trainees have also come to be seen as a leverage and bargaining chips to enhance cooperation with third countries on migration management e.g. forced return. Notwithstanding\, the lecture suggests ways forward for the EU towards a more global strategy for skills\, development and migration. \n\n\n\nDiscussant: Dr. Julia Reinold \n\n\n\n*** \n\n\n\nTesseltje de Lange is Professor of European Migration Law and Director of the Centre for Migration Law at Radboud University in Nijmegen\, the Netherlands. She is an expert on labour migration policy\, migrant worker rights\, and legal practice. She published widely and speaks regularly on policy conundrums related to irregular and regular migration pathways into the EU. A renowned socio-legal scholar\, De Lange serves as Principal Investigator on EU HorizonEurope projects DignityFIRM (www.dignityform.eu) on the rights of low-waged (irregular) migrant workers in European Farm2Fork sectors and HorizonEurope www.GS4S.eu\, investigating the role of migration in addressing skills shortages in Europe. Her latest book was published with CUP in 2021 on Money Matters in Migration\, and her work is published in amongst others the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies\, the European Journal of Migration and Law\, Work Employment and Society\, International Migration\, and Comparative Migration Studies. \n\n\n\nJulia Reinold is a postdoctoral researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam\, specializing in high-skilled migration. She is currently working on the Link4Skills project\, where she oversees a multi-country survey on skilled migrants’ mobility experiences and aspirations. Until recently\, Julia was also affiliated with Maastricht University’s Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross-border cooperation and Mobility (ITEM)\, where she contributed to a study on the internationalisation of higher education in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Ukrainian Female War Migrants: Mobilising Resources for Prospective Social Remittances
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the lecture “Ukrainian Female War Migrants: Mobilising Resources for Prospective Social Remittances” delivered by Prof. Izabela Grabowska\, the Scientific Coordinator of Link4Skills. This event is part of the ongoing exploration of skill development for a resilient Europe within the framework of the Link4Skills project (https://link4skills.eu/)\, funded by the European Union (Horizon 2023). \n\n\n\nDetails: \n\n\n\n📅 Date: June 26\, 2025 \n\n\n\n⏰ Time: 16:00 CET \n\n\n\n🌐 Location: Online \n\n\n\n🔗 Registration link: https://forms.gle/5H215xX6Qvi6jsWg6 \n\n\n\n❗𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓: The meeting link will be sent to registered participants after the registration closes ( until June 24). \n\n\n\nThis lecture explores the experiences of Ukrainian women who have migrated in the context of war\, with a focus on how they mobilise personal\, social\, and institutional resources to generate prospective social remittances. Prof. Dr. Izabela Grabowska\, drawing on empirical research and conceptual insights\, will examine how war-induced migration shapes new patterns of resource mobilisation and influences future contributions to migrants’ home and host societies. Special attention will be given to: 1) The gendered dynamics of forced migration and integration. 2) The construction and transfer of prospective social remittances through informal and formal networks. 3) The role of psychological and social capital among female migrants. 4) The potential long-term impacts of these remittances on Ukrainian post-war reconstruction and social development. The presentation will be enriched by the analytical support of Dr. Ivanna Kyliushyk and Emil Chról\, and followed by critical reflections from experts in migration and Ukrainian studies\, Prof. Iryna Lapshyna and Dr. Valentyna Zasadko.This event offers valuable insights for scholars\, policymakers\, and practitioners interested in migration\, gender\, post-conflict recovery\, and transnational social change.With contributions from book co-authors: Dr. Ivanna Kyliushyk\, Kozminski University and Emil Chról\, University of Warsaw\, Kozminski UniversityDiscussants: Prof. Iryna Lapshyna\, Ukrainian Catholic University and Dr. Valentyna Zasadko\, Ukrainian Catholic University***Prof. Izabela Grabowska\, Ph.D.\, D.Sc. is a Professor of Social Sciences\, sociologist\, and economist.

SUMMARY:Transparency of qualifications and sustainability of migration: problems and solutions
DESCRIPTION:Link4Skills lecture (webinar): “Transparency of qualifications and sustainability of migration: problems and solutions” delivered by Prof. Vidmantas Tutlys\, researcher at the Education Academy\, Institute of Educational research at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas (Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas)\, Lithuania. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the ongoing exploration of skill development for a resilient Europe within the framework of the Link4Skills / L4S project (https://link4skills.eu/)\, funded by the European Union (Horizon 2023). \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nRecognition of learning outcomes and qualifications is a highly important institutional factor of labour migration policy. It defines and structures accessibility of the employment and training opportunities for the migrant workers in the destination and origin countries. When the qualifications and competences of the migrant workers acquired in their home countries are not properly recognized in the countries of destination\, the negative implications\, such as over-qualification caused by the mismatch of the job with the qualification of the migrant worker makes the employment and training pathways more complicated for the migrant workers and impedes the enterprises in the destination countries to solve their faced skills shortages by employing migrant workers. \n\n\n\nReferring to the findings of the research conduced in the Horizon Europe project “Skills4Justice” this lecture discloses the perspectives of the enterprises\, trade unions\, policy makers in the origin and destination countries concerning the issues related to the recognition of qualifications and competences of the migrant workers. It discusses the attitudes and views of the labour migrants on these issues. Finally\, it reviews the potential of the national systems of qualifications\, regional qualifications frameworks and other international or multi-country transparency tools to ensure transparent\, fair and valid assessment and recognition of the competences and qualifications of the migrant workers. \n\n\n\nDiscussants: Prof. Dr. Izabela Grabowska \n\n\n\n*** Prof. Vidmantas Tūtlys is a coordinator of Horizon Europe (sister project) Skills4Justice
