The TEMPER project brings together researchers from different and complementary backgrounds in terms of theoretical approaches, research methods and experience with dissemination. Most importantly, the team as a whole keeps a very well-balanced composition in terms of people with quantitative and qualitative previous training and expertise, which constitutes a vital asset when examining a multifaceted phenomenon as migration dynamics, policies and impacts.
