About 185 million men and women are “on the move”, searching for a better life far away from their home countries. These enormous migration flows present a challenge to politics and society. How can this challenge be best addressed? This is a crucial topic for Europe today and will be the decisive one for its future.

The conference will put the global geopolitical situation into perspective and will also discuss political, sociological and demographic aspects of migration. Furthermore, findings from empirical research in Paris and Berlin will be presented and the gender dimensions of international migration will be taken into account in order to make the “invisible half” of migrants – women who for a long time were not being considered by research on migration – visible.

Experts from scientific, political and cultural fields in Germany, France, Senegal and Spain will participate in the conference.
