Description of the research topic:

In today’s world, in a period of global migration, huge population movements are on the road on all continents and regions. In the waves of migration, host areas and countries will play an important role in providing various forms of humanitarian assistance to migrants, particularly to refugees. The personal and technical conditions of the refugee camps must be designed to meet the requirements of our time. One of their tasks is to protect migrant populations and prepare them for return into their homelands or onward migration to other host countries. Their other central task is to protect the security of the host countries, both in terms of national security and public security. Crime prevention and counter-terrorism tasks are extremely important. In terms of migration, Africa deserves special attention as the last place of the global population growth where the population is exploding rapidly on. That is why Africa, due to its specific social and economic conditions, will become the main migration-emissive area for the next decades. Due to the meanwhile global character of migration, national security and public safety, amongst others prevention of organized crime and counterterrorism play an outstanding role. The successful risk-management affects the social and political processes in the member states of EU and NATO. The mapping and developing of the usable technological tools, particularly that of digital and AI based technical means plays an outstanding role in prevention of negative social effects.

Concept of the project:
The main intent of the project is to present and explain the current processes and characteristics of international migration in terms of geography, social and security policy and the regional and global political context. International mass migration flows generates significant societal changes manifesting themselves in many cases in political, ethnic and social conflicts and creating intense tensions in the social subsystems. The intercultural conflicts and the related political and social struggles deserve particular note as these that threaten to upset the social balance of both the home and host countries as experienced in the large host countries. In the field of the social help and integration the activity of international criminal organizations and NGOs are noteworthy. To treat the immigration properly, tremendous work is needed in the field of preventing isolation of immigrants of African origin. It is necessary to present all these tasks and solutions in which different authorities, structures of social work, crime-prevention, judicial institutions, intelligence, police and military forces are concerned. It is not less necessary to compare these concepts and methodologies in an international perspective. The international perspective is particularly important in the field of technical and technological tools, among which digital and AI (artificial intelligence) based technologies show extraordinarily high efficiency and rapid development.
