In order to pursue a broad range of tasks and projects, the Center assembles and cooperates with teams of locally based academics on a project-by-project basis; works with visiting students from a variety of universities; builds partnerships with statutory organizations; and works with international partners in Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Africa and elsewhere.

The Center is inter-disciplinary in nature and aims to approach the subject of emigration from a range of perspectives.  For its ongoing research it therefore draws on expertise from a number of NDU departments.  At LERC’s nucleus is a small team devoted to organising and promoting its work.
