The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) ›Production of Migration‹ (SFB 1604) is a long-term interdisciplinary consortium of innovative projects in the field of reflexive migration research. The aim is to jointly develop a reflexive theory of the social production of migration.

The CRC comprises 15 projects assigned to the project areas Figures, Infrastructures and Spaces, the three media of the production of migration. Next to the project areas the projects work together in the Reflexivity Lab. SFB 1604 also includes an Integrated Research Training Group for its PhD student members. A Transfer Project applies and tests the perspectives and findings of the CRC in a museum context.

The CRC is dedicated to promoting early-career researchers as well as equal opportunities and diversity. While the center is hosted by Osnabrück University, partner institutions in the joint project are the University of Münster, the Goethe University Frankfurt, the Europa-Universität Flensburg, TU Dortmund University, and FU Berlin in cooperation with the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Research Potsdam.
