Maurice Crul is a Professor at the Free University in Amsterdam and the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He is the international chair of IMISCOE, a network of excellence that includes 33 research institutes in the fields of migration and diversity in 18 European countries: www.imiscoe.org In the last twenty years he mostly worked on the topic of education and children of immigrants, first within the Dutch context and in the last ten years in a comparative European and transatlantic context.

Maurice Crul coordinated the international TIES project (The Integration of the European Second generation) which involved partners in eight European countries. The core part of the TIES project is a standardized survey among almost 10.000 respondents (second generation Turkish, former Yugoslavian and Moroccan youth). The idea behind TIES was to compare the same ethnic group with the same starting position in different national integration contexts.

Next to coordinating the TIES project he was also one of the principal investigators of the transatlantic project ‘Children of Immigrants in School’: mumford.albany.edu/schools/. With support of the Russell Sage Foundation in New York, Maurice Crul together with his American colleague John Mollenkopf recently edited The Changing Face of World Cities. The second generation in Europe and the US comparing second generation youth in Europe and US based on three surveys (TIES, IMMLA and ISGMNY).

The TIES project findings revealed that a sizeable group of second generation youth is either following a higher education study or already has a diploma of higher education. This finding was the starting point of a new international project called ELITES: Pathways to Success.
