In this framework, she launched a new register based longitudinal data base for migration research in Switzerland that is today used by several research teams of the nccr - on the move. Also, she coordinated the implementation of two national surveys among immigrants living in Switzerland, thereof the first wave of the Migration-Mobility Survey. Currently, she is involved in a subproject on the impact of family formation on return migration from a comparative perspective, between Switzerland and Sweden.
