1) Remittances, development (local economic growth) and poverty alleviation – The main research question of this first theme will be: To what extent do remittances contribute to development (local economic growth) and welfare including poverty alleviation, the reduction of inequality, vulnerably and increased capabilities?

2) Brain drain and development policy – The types of questions answered under this theme are: What effect does the option for emigration have on potential migrants or institutions in the sending countries? What is the effect of emigration on the sending country due to the loss of human capital? What effects do the highly skilled migrants have on the sending country while aboard? What makes migrants return and how can this be enhanced? What are the impacts of existing general development policy on the propensity of the highly skilled populations in developing countries to migrate to developed countries?

3) Return migration in the life cycle of migrants -  Theme 3 focuses on topics such as: How does return migration fit within the life cycle of migrant workers and migrants coming to developed countries for other reasons (family reunification, asylum)? Under what circumstances do returnees have a positive/negative impact on development? Can reintegration schemes make a positive contribution? Factors like permanent or temporary work/residence permits and voluntary or forced return will be taken into account.
