International Conference on Migration in Times of Crisis

about

This conference aims to analyze the evolution of migratory phenomena within a global context marked by the rise of multiple crises—climatic, political, health-related, and security-based—and to examine the legal, institutional, and humanitarian responses associated with them. It will particularly seek to explore emerging issues related to the protection of migrants, border governance, international solidarity, and the responsibilities of states and non-state actors.

🎯 Conference Theme: Migration in Times of Crisis

This three-day international conference brings together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to examine the complex challenges of migration and asylum through five key thematic axes: International Legal Framework, Human Dimensions, Management Policies, International Cooperation, and Sustainable Development.

Why This Conference Matters

Since the dawn of history, humankind has wandered the earth in search of water, food, security, and stability. Migration was a necessity for the survival of humanity. Today, migration has become a multidimensional pole that intersects social, political, economic, environmental, and security factors and humanitarian, legal, and sovereign considerations, making it the most complicated issue to examine and deconstruct, and urgently in need of effective, radical solutions.


According to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the number of international migrants in the world will exceed 304 million in 2024, a figure that has almost doubled since 1990. They include 100 million people forcibly displaced from their homelands, including refugees, internally displaced persons, stateless persons, and asylum seekers.

🌍 An Interdisciplinary Platform

This event will serve as an interdisciplinary platform bringing together academic researchers, legal practitioners, migration experts, representatives of international and humanitarian organizations, as well as doctoral students, in order to foster dialogue and strengthen scientific output in this rapidly evolving field.
