On International Migrants Day, the 18th of December, the University of Birmingham, University of Groningen and Radboud University Nijmegen together organise a seminar in the centre of Brussels on the present-day challenges and opportunities of migration to the European metropolis. In three sessions, policy makers, policy advisors and scholars will address issues of migration and integration in the European city on three levels : policy (urgent policy and political challenges and solutions), reflection (good an bad practices based on experiences and histories), theory (capacities and limitations of the European city in coping with migration and integration). You are kindly invited to participate in this event by sending an email to brusselsevent2014@gmail.com. Registration closes on 1 December. Attendance is free and includes lunch and a drinks reception. Please see attachment for full programme details.
