Eduardo Acostamadiedo is a PhD candidate at Potsdam University. His research focuses on assessing aspirations to migrate and intentions to migrate without the necessary documents with survey data and list experiments. Previously, Eduardo has researched the future of immigration to the European Union in 2030 through Delphi surveys and future scenarios, and compared the main approaches that attempt to predict future migration. He has analysed the degree to which aspirations to migrate from Africa to the European Union materialise. He has also examined attitudes towards migrants within Africa. Eduardo completed a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Universidad de Los Andes and a Master of Arts in Public Policy from the Hertie School of Governance. His master thesis was published at the European Research Centre for Anti-Corruption and State-Building. Eduardo is a part-time Data Officer at the International Organization for Migration's Global Migration Data Analysis Centre.
