A New Chapter for the Global Migration Centre: Welcoming an Expanded Team

The GMC is pleased to announce that Professor Sung Min Rho joins Professor Vincent Chetail as Co-Director, alongside the arrival of Patricia and Leticia, further strengthening the Centre's coordination, events, and communication activities.

 

The Global Migration Centre is pleased to announce several exciting developments that mark a new chapter in the Centre's growth and ambitions.

We are delighted to welcome Professor Sung Min Rho as the new Co-Director of the Global Migration Centre, joining Professor Vincent Chetail in leading the Centre. This new co-leadership marks an exciting step forward for the GMC, bringing together complementary expertise and perspectives to guide the Centre's future. Sung Min's appointment brings fresh energy, innovative ideas, and a valuable interdisciplinary perspective that will further strengthen the GMC's mission and expand its impact on migration debates at the local, regional and global levels.

The GMC has also recently strengthened its operational team with two new appointments. Patricia Arnold has joined the Centre as Coordinator, bringing valuable support to the management and day-to-day activities of the GMC, enhacing the GMC's capacity to support its growing portfolio or research, events, and partnerships. In addition, Leticia Pérez Torreiro will contribute to the Centre's events and communication activities, helping us enhance the visibility of our work and foster engagement with our growing community.

These additions reflect the GMC's commitment to continuing its development as a leading hub for migration research, dialogue, and collaboration. As we expand our team, we are excited to build on the Centre's achievements and explore new opportunities for impact in the years ahead.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Sung Min, Patricia, and Leticia to their new roles.
