The Migration Conference 2020 is held online via Microsoft Teams platform due to COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions. We have as usual covering a wide array of topics in this year’s edition too. There are about 350 presentations and debates running over 4 days from 8th to 11th September 2020. We have tried to address the time zone differences by moving sessions towards mid-day and grouping presentations, where possible, according to time zones. However, we believe this is not perfect to accommodate hundreds of colleagues from Brazil to Japan, and Australia to Canada. PLEASE NOTE all times are GMT+1 British Summer Time (BST). MS Teams will normally show the times according to your computers local time. Our all-women keynote speakers line up this year features Nissa Finney, Jelena Dzankic, Martina Cvajner, Elli Heikkila, Agnes Igoye, and Helén Nilsson. Although the main language of the conference is English, this year we will have linguistic diversity as usual and there will also be some sessions in Spanish and Turkish. Over the years, we have maintained a frank and friendly environment where constructive criticism and friendly exchanges were prioritized to foster scholarship as we believe being nice improves the quality of the event. Please follow the virtual meeting etiquette as much as possible to help each other during the conference. We hope to continue with this tradition even in the online version and you will enjoy the Conference. We thank all participants, invited speakers and conference committees for their efforts and contribution. We are particularly grateful to hundreds of colleagues who served as reviewers and helped the selection process. Please download and install MS Teams on your computers. It works better with computers than on smart phones or browsers. The final programme will be available with links to online sessions and when you log into MS Teams with emails registered with the Conference, you will be able to see the meetings under TMC 2020. There is also a support page on the website. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us through the conference email ([email protected]). Looking forward to seeing you all online.
