AspirE – Asian prospects in (re)migration to/within the EU – is a 3-year research project (2023-2025) that examines the
decision making of aspiring (re)migrants from selected Southeast and East Asian countries (China, Japan, Philippines, Thailand, and
Vietnam) to and within selected EU member countries (Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Italy, and Portugal). 

This
project addresses the following questions:
How do migration regimes in the countries of origin and destination consider (aspiring)
(re)migrants’ behaviour in their policies?
Why do people decide to (re)migrate or to stay?
When do individuals’ migration
decisions evolve?

The objectives of the project are as follows:
Map to what extent spatial mobility policies consider aspiring
(re)migrants’ behaviour
Identify the micro- and meso-level drivers of mobility aspiration and/or intention
Determine the
temporality of (non-)mobility decision-making
