On 22 September 2017, at the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova (ASEM) was launched the “Migration and Development: Socio-Economic Issues” handbook written by Mr. Dorin Vaculovschi, Doctor of Economics and Associate Professor. The handbook was developed in 2016-2017 and will be made available to master degree students from the Master's School of Excellence in Economics and Business, Faculty of Management in Public Administration and Management and Development of Human Resources. The course will take two weeks. The handbook on socio-economic aspects was developed in parallel with the handbook on political- aspects, signed by Valeriu Mosneaga, PhD in Political Science. The handbook on political and juridical aspects will be used in a similar course at the State University of Moldova. Together, these two handbooks and courses aim to train a new generation of specialists, future public officials, able to manage and propose effective public policies in the field of migration. The event was attended by academics and ASEM students. The handbooks were developed thanks to the Global Program Mainstreaming Migration into National Development Strategies (MOMID), implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Mission to Moldova and the Program the United Nations in Moldova.
