2025 LDE GMD 10th Anniversary Conference

This 10th-anniversary conference is a timely occasion to reflect on the past, present and future in the governance of migration and diversity. The conference focuses on academic and societal debates on the governance of migration and diversity in general, including but not limited to the role of the LDE centre itself. Especially in these times of uncertainty and contestation, also surrounding our field of study, this conference provides an occasion to reflect on core themes in the field, methodological developments, impact and engagement of the field with, among others, societal communities and communities of practice, and key (theoretical, conceptual, methodological, practical) challenges ahead.

During the conference, we will also reflect on the development of the LDE centre GMD. What role has the centre played so far, and what role could or should it play in the future? This includes a roundtable with students, alumni, practitioners, community representatives and academics, as well as a special roundtable featuring guest speakers from a number of global partners of the centre on how the centre can globalize its activities further!
