UNESCO CHAIR:
The UNESCO Chair on Free Movement of People, Migration and Inter-Cultural Dialogue

 

 

The UNESCO Chair on Free Movement of People, Migration and Inter-Cultural Dialogue was established at the University of Zagreb – Faculty of Law in 2014. Prof. Dr. Iris Goldner Lang has been appointed its Chairholder. The purpose of the Chair is to promote an integrated system of research, training and information in the area of migration, asylum and free movement law and policy in the European Union. The Chair also facilitates collaboration between high-level, internationally recognized researchers and teaching staff of the University of Zagreb and other institutions in Croatia, as well as elsewhere in Europe and in other regions of the world. It promotes in-depth understanding of the topics covered by the Chair and the creation of new knowledge by regular teaching of EU migration and asylum law and of EU free movement law within the framework of two former Jean Monnet modules previously granted to the Chairholder.
