Marco Zoppi works as Research Fellow at the University of Bologna, Department of Political and Social Sciences. His fields of expertise incorporate the study and analysis of migration flows within the European continent as well as their socio-political implications. Such flows include both internal migration within the EU and non-EU countries in the region, and inflows of asylum seekers and economic migrants from third countries across the so-called Balkan Route and the Central Mediterranean.

Zoppi has been the coordinator of the MIGRATUP project, which examined the internal, regional and external migratory flows in the Adriatic-Ionian and Danubian macro-regions. The project was funded by ESPON and ran in the period 2017-2018. Since the end of 2020, he is participating in BordEUr and in the ADRION-funded project “ReInSer” (Refugees’ Economic Integration through Social Entrepreneurship) as a researcher. Among his latest publications are “How Many Europes? Fragmentation in the European Space since the Great Recession”(International Spectator) and “The ‘three absences’ of black Africans in European migration debates” (Mediterranean Politics, awarded with the 2019 Richard Gillespie Mediterranean Prize).
