Selected cities might include Brussels/Rotterdam (by the PI and the research team), Vienna or another transit hub in Central Europe (by PhD candidate 1) and Thessaloniki/Athens or another transit hub in Southern Europe (by PhD candidate 2). The PhD Candidates will use a variety of methods within a participatory action research setting, collaborate in a small international research team, and actively work to share knowledge and make public impact.
