Conference Format and Activities

The 2025 IMISCOE Spring Conference will feature keynote speeches, roundtable discussions and academic panels. In addition, these activities will provide a platform for scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and migrants themselves to exchange ideas, share research findings, and engage in meaningful discussions. The conference will also encourage interdisciplinary approaches, inviting scholars and experts from various fields and all social science disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, political science, economics, law, and migration studies.

This conference will be hybrid in nature and presenters can join online or in person.
