Find a short report and some pictures from the event in this article.

The DAMR Fall meeting 2017 invited migration researchers to reflect on the issues of categorization they encounter in their research endeavours – which categories do we as researchers use?

The Dutch Association for Migration Research & Erasmus University Rotterdam kindly invite you to the DAMR Fall Meeting 2018 titled 'Between incorporation and migration enforcement - integration and post-procedural migration trajectories among (asylum) migrants'

Fall 2016 meeting Dutch Association for Migration Research
on Urban Refugees

The organisation ‘UrbanRefugees.org’ claims that 58% of the refugees now live in cities. The UNHCR estimates that more than 10 million refugees and 27 million IDPs (internally displaced persons) live in urban areas. Urban refugees avoid the traditional refugee camps because of the poor living and security conditions and the lack of prospect for the future.

Fall 2018 meeting Dutch Association for Migration Research, November 29th:
Between incorporation and migration enforcement: integration and post-procedural migration trajectories among (asylum) migrants.

A context - specific approach - PhD Workshop, 21 November 2017, Utrecht
The workshop was financed by DAMR and convened by Vassilis Gerasopoulos and Dr. Nilay Kavur from Utrecht University. It covered a selection of films produced in different European countries with an endeavor to 'read' the language of films that have dealt with the experience of migration - both the experiences of the displaced, and the receiving populations.

The 2017 DAMR Spring Event was devoted to research on Migrant Decision-Making in ‘the digital information age’ and took place on 15 May at the WODC in the Hague.
