Migration – the Challenge of European States

On the 26. and 27th of April an international JMCH conference took place. The aim of the conference was to provide knowledge in the field of migration and migration policy in the EU and highlight the current challenges and future prospects in this area. The conference was also aimed at creating a suitable space for postgraduate students and young researchers to present their position papers or those they will work on during writing their doctoral dissertations. The conference was attended by more than 70 guests from academia, state institutions, think-tanks and NGOs. The JMCH conference succeeded to create a forum for researchers and professionals who are interested in migration policy with the aim of discussing both general and specific issues related to perspectives, concepts, approaches, models and tools for migration and migration policy in the EU.
