Can migration be forecasted in today's unpredictable world? How can policymakers and scholars navigate inherent uncertainty, with robust and realistic models? Welcome to a virtual book launch for the book 'From uncertainty to policy: A guide to migration scenarios' on 18 December (International Migrants Day), which seeks to address these and related questions.
This book is an outcome of the QuantMig: Quantifying Migration Scenarios for Better Policy project (funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme), led by the Unversity of Southampton, and to which many PRIO researchers contributed.
The online book launch features an esteemed expert and stakeholder panel, with Marie McAuliffe, Head of Migration Research and Publications Division at the International Organization for Migration (IOM); Helga de Valk, Director of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) and Professor of Migration and the Life Course at the University of Groningen; and Teddy Wilkin, Head of the Data Analysis and Research Sector at the European Union Agency for Asylum.
The panel will discuss the developments, perspectives and challenges of forward-looking migration studies, in conversation with Daniela Vono (Population Europe) and Jakub Bijak (Professor of Statistical Demography at the University of Southampton).
More information and registration for the online book launch, organised by Population Europe: Beyond Uncertainty: Exploring Migration Futures. Date and time: 18 December 2024, 16:00-17:00 CET / 15:00-16:00 GMT / 10:00-11:00 EST.
