Milena Chimienti and Laurence Ossipow-Wüest, team coordinator from Geneva, with the help of Anne-Laure Counilh and Florence Moos, have welcomed, Catherine Withol de Wenden and Giovanna Tattolo from Sciences Po Paris and Alice Bloch from the University of Manchester.

During a day of hard work, members of the team have discussed the state of research on second generation in each country, research methods, specific contexts and goals for the project.
