On behalf of The Migration Conference Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to the 9th conference in the series which will take place online and hosted by Ming-Ai Institute, London, United Kingdom from 6 to 10 July 2021. The Conference is a forum for discussion where experts, young researchers and students, practitioners and policymakers working in the field of migration are encouraged to exchange their knowledge and experiences in a friendly and frank environment.
The conference is organized in thematic streams of parallel sessions focusing on migration, migrant populations, diasporas, migration policies, labour migrations, refugees, economic impacts, remittances as well as non-migrants and the wider impact of human mobility on sending, transit and receiving societies. The scientific programme of TMCs usually comprises invited talks, oral presentations, poster presentations, exhibitions and workshops. The conference hosts about 80 parallel sessions and several distinguished keynote speakers joining us in intriguing plenary sessions.
The conference venue is in central London and within easy access to five airports and main train stations in the City.
We are expecting an interesting and highly motivating meeting and would be happy if you participated in this conference.
