Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland Foreword The financial and economic crisis has been a challenge for the European integration process, and, in many respects, the study of South-North EU migration in times of crisis reveals as much about contemporary mobilities in the EU as it does on Member States’ willingness to build solidarity across borders. To study this phenomenon, we considered the involvement of scholars and insti- tutions from both Southern and Northern Europe as the only possible option. This edited volume is thus the result of true collective work involving many different actors whom we wish to sincerely thank for their support and dedication throughout this project. We first wish to thank the IMISCOE Research Network and Universidad Pontificia Comillas in Madrid to have hosted our first workshop on South-North EU migration in August 2014, during which the idea of this book was initially dis- cussed. Second, different Belgian institutions have allowed this idea to be trans- formed into a fully fledged publication project. We hereby wish to thank the University of Liège, which granted us a special research fund to support this book, as well as its Social Science Faculty (FaSS) and its Centre for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM). We would also like to thank the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (FRS-FNRS), for financing and hosting our second conference in December 2014 at the University of Liège. Third, we’d like to thank warmly Warda Belabas from the IMISCOE editorial board and Bernadette Deelen from Springer for their support and dedication throughout the publication process. Lastly, as the joint editors of this volume were based in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, we can confirm that this book’s manuscript has itself been continuously moving between Southern and Northern Europe. However, a few institutions have given us the necessary stability to work comfortably on the manuscript. We would thus also like to thank the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, which financed v vi Foreword Mikolaj Stanek’s postdoctoral fellowship at the time this volume was prepared (SFRH/BDP/84148/2012), the Centre of Social Studies at the University of Coimbra in Portugal, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Library of the Belgian Royal Academy.
