The Centre for Black Sea and Central Asia (KORA) of Middle East
Technical University (METU), Ankara will hold an international
conference entitled "Global Migration from the Eastern Mediterranean
and Eurasia: Security and Human Rights Challenges to Europe." It is the
concluding event of the Sixth Framework Project GLOMIG that KORA has
been coordinating since 2005. This dissemination conference will take
place on 29 February-1 March 2008 in Ankara, Turkey with the
participation of 40 scholars working on global migration issues. In
addition to scholars from the EU and INCO countries, the conference
will also host representatives of international organizations, NGOs,
policy makers, journalists and other stakeholders. Scholars who are
working on global migration issues in Europe, Eastern Mediterranean,
and/or Eurasia, particularly in reference to human rights and security
challenges migration presents to the European Union are invited to
apply.
GLOMIG project of KORA has been promoting and facilitating
comparative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary approaches to global
migration and its opportunities and challenges in terms for the EU and
the INCO countries for the last two years. By the time of the final
dissemination conference, GLOMIG project partners will have held five
international workshops in Nijmegen, Oxford, Berlin, and Ankara on a
diverse range of issues including Continuity and Change: Aspects of
Global Migration; Migration as Challenges and Opportunities for the
EU: Security and Human Rights Concerns for the EU; Perspectives of the
INCO Countries on Migration: Economic and Cultural Dilemmas; Prospects
for Institutional Co-operation and Dialogue; New dynamics, Future
Strategies, Constructive Visions. While the first five workshops
brought two expert paper presenters with fifteen discussants and
encouraged a lively roundtable interaction, the dissemination
conference aims to provide a venue for the sharing of cutting edge
approaches, latest empirical findings, and innovative policy
interventions.
By partaking in the last round of a series of six conferences, you too
can take advantage of this unique opportunity to share and discuss
your research with a diverse international audience. All papers
presented in the conference will be published on the KORA-GLOMIG
website as an e-book. Moreover, selected papers will be made available
as an edited volume. To ensure prompt dissemination of conference
material, participants will be required to submit their full papers by
mid-March 2008.
30 of the participants will receive full funding from KORA to cover
travel and accommodation costs. Guesthouses on METU campus offer a
comfortable stay while Ankara provides visitors with an opportunity to
observe Turkish history and heritage firsthand.
