QuantMig aims to transform the methodology of setting and analysing migration scenarios 
The project will address the key contemporary challenges of complexity and uncertainty of migration flows, and enable more timely and robust policy responses.​

PRIO is a partner on this project, which is executed by a consortium of seven top European migration research institutions, led by the University of Southampton. The project partners include: Danube University Krems (DUK), International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Max Planck Society – Population Europe (MPG-PE), Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI), Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), and the University of Oslo (UiO). Besides, an external partner is Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) from Canada.
