Scientific conference 1 on current issues in migration and integration research

In order to increase the visibility and role of TU as a centre for migration and integration research, two international conferences will be organised in cooperation with partners. The conferences will feature invited keynote speakers and an open call for papers for both early career researchers as well as advanced scholars, both among the consortium member institutions as well as other universities across the world. (The call will be announced via various professional networks and mailing lists, see detailed description in part 2.2.). The conferences will be a venue where to introduce the project and research done at TU, but also give input to the planned edited volume (Task 2.3) and the planned dual special issue (Task 2.4) and discuss the academic results of the project. The keynote speakers and best paper presenters will be given an opportunity to publish their paper in the edited volume/special issue and hence ensure the diversity of authorship in the volume and thus also the scope and potential readership of the book/special issue.
