This interdisciplinary workshop—organized as a joint collaboration between the Radboud University Network on Migrant Inclusion (RUNOMI), the GLOCAL (Global–Local Divides and Connections) research hotspot and the Sector Plan Social Inequality and Diversity —invites scholars to explore high-skilled migration as a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by tensions between mobility and rootedness, privilege and exclusion, global aspirations and local entanglements. Building on the concepts of partial exit and elective belonging (Andreotti et al. 2012; Savage et al. 2005), we aim to expand theoretical and empirical approaches to high-skilled migration across diverse contexts.

The workshop will take place in person on 11-12 December 2025 at Radboud University, Nijmegen (The Netherlands). Participation is free.

Please send a 200-word abstract and a short bio (max 100 words) to: francesco.cerchiaro@ru.nl and giacomo.solano@ru.nl
Deadline for submissions: 7 September 2025.

Selected papers are planned to be included in a special issue proposal to be submitted to Global Networks journal.
