Migrants are very differently received in different European countries. This is especially true when they do not have a state authorised immigration status - some are denied basic legal protections, while others can access certain forms of social assistance and healthcare. Host Professor Bridget Anderson talks to her co-researchers from Italy to Sweden to Croatia about their project PRIME (Protecting Irregular Migrants in Europe), asking how and why the experiences of these migrants vary so much across countries. The team reflect on the stories of migrants they meet, the communities receiving them and the institutions making their journeys easier, more difficult or impossible.

In this episode we are looking at PRIME's ‘mobility focus countries’ - Croatia, Greece, Italy, Poland and Spain. These countries are often new arrivals’ first experience of Europe. Host Bridget Anderson is joined by Roberto Forin, Head of the Mixed Migration Centre Europe, and Nejra Kadić Meškić, Executive Director of the Centre for Cultural Dialogue in Zagreb, an NGO that works as an implementation partner in the PRIME mobility survey. Together they explain why these mobility focus countries were selected and what data they are collecting, and they explore the challenges of surveying irregular migrants in these fieldsites, including access difficulties and ethical issues.
