Radboud University, a premier research institution in the Netherlands, offers the forward-looking summer course “Migrant Inclusion: Policies and Practices in the Age of Digitalisation.” Hosted in Nijmegen—a city with a 2,000-year history of movement and cultural exchange—this program investigates how the digital revolution is fundamentally altering the migrant experience. From blockchain-based identity systems to mobile integration apps, you will examine how technology can either bridge the gap to social inclusion or create new digital divides. While the university provides elite academic instruction, critical case studies, and official ECTS credits, Edulux Summer manages the high-end logistics and travel services required for your stay.
