The call has a budget of NOK 65 million and the deadline for the call for proposals is 15 November 2018.

This new call is aimed at investigating:
- Drivers for migration and global, regional and local migration chains and patterns
- Health and wellbeing among migrants
- Social cohesion and inequality
- Social and family relations
- Histories of migrants, migration and integration
- Migrant cultural heritages and contemporary cultural expressions
- Politics and governance of migration and integration
- This call is an activity under the Joint Nordic-UK Research Programme on Migration and Integration and has a budget of NOK 65 million.
Deadline for the call for proposals: 15 November 2018.
