In the last fifty years migration and urban studies have become well-established research disciplines worldwide. Increased attention on these issues calls for a transition from mainstream methods of study to consider a plurality of subjects. Migration and urban studies are interdisciplinary in nature and require cross-faculty collaboration. In this sense, BAUMUS addresses the need for research centers that provide opportunities for developing collaborative research approaches in Turkey and worldwide. The goal of BAUMUS is to develop research models that use theories and data to suggest realistic proposals. Instead of limiting the scope of projects to produce theoretical knowledge, we aim to create applicable suggestions and practical solutions.
