What it is like to live in Scotland for people from Central and Eastern Europe, Russia or the Former Soviet Union? What is it that makes people choose to come here and what helps them to decide to stay? Our research station is part of European Researchers Night and brings together researchers and projects across social sciences, arts and humanities.

The research station will combine a variety of interactive materials and examples gathered through our research. Join us to create a ‘living map’ and add to our interactive phrasebook with languages that you know. You will also be able to see some of the objects, art work and photographs we have been curating and creating with migrants living and working in Angus and Aberdeenshire.

You will have the opportunity to learn how we organised community initiatives and events, language cafés and to hear more about our research findings. There will be a mini language café where you will be able to learn a few words of Russian, Polish etc.
