The MIGAP - MigrAção no Porto project is promoted by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (ISCSP), the Centre for Organisational and Social Studies of the Polytechnic of Porto, the University of Maia and ISCAP.
Given the expressiveness and diversity of migrants living in Greater Porto, the MIGAP project began with a first study "Migratory trends in Porto: an exploratory analysis" whose general aim is to characterise the profiles and understand the experiences of migrants living in Greater Porto. The project's specific objectives are to understand the needs and experiences of migrant populations living in Greater Porto; to identify recent migratory patterns of migrants living in Porto; and to understand the diversity of profiles and integration of migrants during the integration process.
Thus, in partnership with higher education institutions, non-governmental organisations and public institutions, the study will include collecting data from migrants in the geographical area of Greater Porto.
Coordinating the project at UMAIA and the CIEG-UMAIA centre are the following researchers:
Lia Antunes, FCT PhD candidate in Architecture at the University of Coimbra, with CIEG/ISCSP-ULisboa as her host institution, was awarded the MAXQDA International Prize #ResearchForChange 2024 - Women Empowerment for her project "Women of the SAAL Process (1974-1976) in Portugal: Women architects and residents for the right to housing".
The research endeavoured to show the impact of women on social and political processes.
The entire CIEG/ISCSP-ULisboa team congratulates Lia Antunes, an architect and researcher in the field of women in architecture, for her successful research.
