The EU H2020 SIRIUS project is pleased to announce its first International Conference entitled "Integrating migrants, refugees and asylum seekers into European labour markets: enablers and barriers". The conference will take place on 29-30 August 2019, at Glasgow Caledonian University, in Scotland. We aim to offer scholars from across disciplines and countries opportunities to exchange on issues related to the integration of migrants and refugees in different labour markets and communities. A pre-conference workshop reserved to PhD students and early career researchers will be organised on 28 August with a focus on Research Methods and Ethics in Migration and Refugee Studies.
To encourage academic discussion across fields and disciplines, the conference will be structured along six main thematic lines, keynote speakers (Prof. Cristina Boswell, University of Edinburgh, Dr. Amparo Gonzalez-Ferrer, Spanish National Research Council, Prof. Barbara Oomen, University of Utrecht), and two plenary debates.
