Centre for Research on Social Change and Human Mobility (CRASH)

The Center for Research on Social Change and Mobility (CRASH) takes a closer look at the concept of social change and the mobility, and looks at it in an interdisciplinary way, inviting researchers from various disciplines around the world to participate in this process.  

By combining qualitative and quantitative research methods in social sciences, we undertake empirical research on critical social problems in Poland, Central and Eastern Europe in relation to a wider social context. We take into account such phenomena as globalization, migration, pandemics, economic changes and new technologies that directly shape and change various areas of human life and entire societies. 

In the coming years, the Centre for Research on Social Change and Human Mobility will investigate into social, behavioural and economic issues concerning human mobility, the quality and character of work, the structure and flow of organization and community life in response to national and global processes of social and economic transformations.

MY MIGRATION

Currently, as part of the BigMig: Cyfrowe i analogowe ślady migrantów w dużych i małych zbiorach danych oraz zdolności ludzkie (NCN OPUS 19) the My Migration Research Portal has been created to identify people's resources (psychosocial capitals).  

My Migration is a research portal where individuals, after answering questions, will receive free and automatically generated feedback on their resources (psychosocial capitals) and opportunities in the labor market.

The portal invites individuals who: 

1. have experienced going abroad of their own country, lived and worked there or are still there 

2. have not experienced living abroad, but may experience migration within the country, mobility in the labor market by changing jobs, employment breaks, promotions or starting their own business. 

The portal operates in three language versions:
