The subject „Origin – Transit – Des- tination – Future“ will be discussed in this Summer Academy. Furthermore, students from both catholic universities have the opportunity to deal with theories and methods, chances and challenges related to flight and migration. We expect an intensive exchange with declared experts in interdisciplinary research of flight and migration. A central item of the agenda will be the development of a research draft within small study groups. The research drafts will be presented at the end of the Summer Academy and should clearly refer to one of the four topics mentioned above. The focus is placed on many areas such as politics, law, language, media, religion and church analyzed from various disciplinary angles (e.g. psychology, history, social work, philosophy, political science, law, sociology and theology). This program aims at master‘s degree students in different fields. 2 Official Welcome Dear participants of the Migration Studies Sum- mer Academy, In the name of the Presidium and the entire Univer- sity community, I am delighted to warmly welco- me you at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-In- golstadt (KU).
