Workshop Format
Over the course of the two days of the workshop, there will be three keynote presentations - one keynote for each of the research clusters above.
These will be presented by external researchers whose names will be announced at the end of October.
Following each keynote presentation, there will be a panel focused on the corresponding research group. Selected candidates will be placed in one of these panels based on the topics of the abstracts submitted, and will have a chance to present their work and receive feedback from senior researchers at ICS-ULisboa. Selected candidates will have the chance to present in one panel but are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussions of the other panels.
Following the three keynote presentations and panels, during the second day there will be a casual discussion/Q&A period where all selected candidates will be able to discuss their projects and research strands further, with the aim of enabling cross-disciplinary dialogue between students and senior researchers.
Workshop Location
The workshop will be held in person at the Instituto de Ciencias Sociais, Universidade de Lisboa in Lisboa, Portugal on November 23rd and 24th, 2023. Presented by DeMig (University of Lisbon Migrations Program) and Migrations Hub, with support from ICS-ULisboa and IMISCOE.
