Migration trajectories, natural experiments, and small-area effects on health
INTER.SECT is a pioneering Consolidator Grant project, funded by the European Research Council, that integrates social sciences, public health, epidemiology, and data science. By drawing on routine, administrative and primary data along the migration trajectory of resettlement refugees in Germany, the overarching aims of INTER.SECT are to examine the effects of different social, economic and policy environments at small-area level on human health and mortality and to develop innovative methods for data linkage and distributed computation techniques.
INTER.SECT is implemented in collaboration with national and international stakeholders from the spheres of policy, law, civil society, and multilateral organisations. Core partners are the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Research Data Centre of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF-FDZ) and the Technology and Methods Platform for Networked Medical Research (TMF e.V.).
