Who we are
We are a group of researchers at Utrecht University, Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science, working on the OWNERS project. The core research team consists of Borja Martinović (Principal Investigator), Tom Nijs (PhD student working on Project 1), Wybren Nooitgedagt (PhD student working on Project 2), and Nora Storz (PhD student working on Project 3). Our research interests are in the field of migration and intergroup relations and we are all part of the European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER). The wider team includes collaborators in the nine countries that are covered by the OWNERS project.
