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.

The PRIME Podcast kicks off with our Principal Investigators, Professor Martin Ruhs and Professor Bridget Anderson, discussing why this research project is important, the challenges they have faced during its first year and what they are most looking forward to. The conditions of irregular migrants vary dramatically across Europe - how do 'national institutions' influence these conditions? What can we learn by considering the common interests between migrants and citizens, as well as the tensions in policy-making between immigration controls and protecting fundamental rights? How does a research project like PRIME engage in policy debates and policy-making processes? And how do you make the most of a cross-disciplinary team of 24 people spread across seven countries?!
