Town Hall on Establishing the Global Migration Institute
Toronto Metropolitan University is establishing a new university institute focused on migration research, the Global Migration Institute (GMI). Building on TMU’s strengths in research and scholarly activities related to migration and integration, the GMI seeks to advance our understanding and develop solutions to the challenges and opportunities presented by global migration.
The GMI’s Advisory Committee is producing a draft proposal and budget for the institute, set to undergo TMU's senate approval process in Spring and Summer 2025. The proposal's development is a collaborative and comprehensive process, guided by iterative discussions within the committee and extensive stakeholder consultations to incorporate diverse feedback from TMU’s research community.
In preparation for submitting the proposal to the TMU Senate for approval, the Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation (OVPRI) is hosting a hybrid town hall to hear from you and to gather your feedback on establishing the GMI.
