Two upcoming events will address timely questions around discrimination, migration governance and human rights in the Netherlands and Europe.
Workshop on Discrimination against Muslims in the Netherlands
Research shows that anti-Muslim discrimination is widespread and takes different forms across society. This workshop will bring together researchers, policymakers and community representatives to discuss what is currently known about anti-Muslim discrimination in the Netherlands, how it can best be investigated, and what further action may be needed.
The programme includes four short presentations, each approaching the topic through a different research method, followed by two panel discussions. These discussions will focus on the current situation, challenges and opportunities in research and policy, and perspectives from Muslim communities.
Date: 28 September 2026
Time: 12:00–18:00
