Human mobility or as widely referred to as migration is the movement of people between places with the intention of settling, permanently or temporarily. Population movements often occur between countries far or near and the borders between internal and international migration are often blurred. Also, some internal migrations mean covering very long distances within large countries such as China or Russia. Despite the prominent place of migration in public debates and policy making, international migration and particularly the migration of refugees/asylum seekers are rare. It is estimated that only about 3.6 per cent of the world population is living in a country other than where they were born. While migration is often triggered by factors which can be defined through 3Ds (Democratic Deficit, Development Deficit and Demographic Deficit), only people with adequate resources (4 Cs, human capital, financial capital, social capital and physical capability) are able to move.

Migration Summer School at the University of Bari aims to prepare practitioners and managers to the challenges posed by super mobility and superdiversity.

MISSS has directed by Professor Michela Pellicani. In six modules, students discuss new directions in migration theories, methodologies, policy and legal challenges, human rights, return migration, economics of migration, health and related issues, integration and discrimination.

The modules are taught by leading scholars in the field including Maurizio Ambrossini, Giuseppe Sciortino, Ibrahim Sirkeci, and many others.
