S3 - Episode 4 Aspire’s policy briefs – Improving migration pathways and support for migrants

The final episode of the series highlights one of the most policy-relevant outcomes of the AspirE project: the two policy briefs developed from interviews and social network mapping conducted in Work Package 3. Host and guests Vanessa Tkotzyk (Goethe University Frankfurt) and Laure Sizaire (former AspirE postdoctoral researcher) discuss how the project’s rich dataset of 280+ migrant interviews and Network Canvas visualisations translates into concrete recommendations for policymakers.

Together, the episode offers a concise and accessible overview of how AspirE’s empirical work feeds directly into practical, evidence-based guidance for migration policy and support systems.
