Crossing Borders

Discover how our research into the complexities of cross-border mobility is advancing knowledge, shaping policy, benefiting society and addressing global challenges.

Navigating the complexities of cross-borders mobility

The increase in cross-border human mobility—driven by greater freedom of movement within the European Union, advances in transport and communications technology, global inequality and political instability—has created both opportunities and challenges. People move as permanent or temporary migrants, refugees or daily commuters, raising complex issues for sending and receiving countries, including Luxembourg.

Crossing Borders is committed to advancing innovative research and developing data-driven tools that support informed decision-making. By promoting evidence-based policies, we aim to increase resilience, cohesion and prosperity across borders, ensuring that cross-border mobility benefits individuals and societies worldwide.
