The 11th International Metropolis Conference – Lisbon, 2-6 October 2006 02-10-2006 Introduction The 11th International Metropolis Conference, with “Paths & Crossroads:
moving people, changing places” as its theme this year, intends to address a
wide range of issues related to globalisation, diversity and current complex
migratory phenomena.
Description
In light of the particular experience Portugal has had as both a country of
emigration and immigration, this year’s conference will seek to take a closer
look at the effects of migration in the places that send and receive migrants
and the relationship between them.
People on the move grow increasingly diverse, and so do the routes, processes
and places involved. For this reason, the Metropolis Conference intends to
provide a forum to foster the exchange of knowledge and encourage dialogue among
specialists and decision-makers from places that send and receive migrants.
The 11th International Metropolis Conference will be of interest to policy
makers, administrators and representatives from non-governmental organisations
as well as academic researchers. Metropolis wants to reach all those with a
professional interest in international migration and urban management issues.
EUKN will actively participate in this Conference and organise two high-level
seminars. The added value of the EUKN activities and an analysis of EU trends on
migration, based on the knowledge in the extensive EUKN e-library, will be
discussed during these seminars.
