The EUI Forum on Migration Citizenship and Demography is a 2-year programme (2014-2016) that brings together professors, senior fellows, post-doctoral researchers and PhD students from the four EUI departments, the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies and the Max Weber Programme, over a set of themes of common expertise and interest. Building on a wealth of academic publications, policy papers, conferences and workshops, produced by EUI scholars in the wider field of citizenship and democracy, demography and migration management, cultural diversity and ways to address it, the Forum offers critical analysis, informed debate and policy recommendations.

The working language of the conference is English. Simultaneous translation in Italian will not be available.
The conference will be live streamed here: http://www.eui.eu/Live.aspx

A video interview with Philippe Fargues, director of the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) has been released.
