Abstract: With the consolidation of the culture of evidence-based policymaking, the availability of data has become central to policymakers especially in time of crisis. Focusing on migration studies, this seminar will provide an overview of the current state of data innovation in the scientific literature and then point out at areas in which data innovation has the most concrete potential.
