We are excited to invite panel proposals for the 2025 LDE Governance of Migration & Diversity (GMD) 10th Anniversary Conference. This milestone gathering will unite GMD alumni, students, and scholars with policymakers, practitioners, and societal stakeholders to reflect on the past, the present and envision futures in migration and diversity governance. Especially in these times of uncertainty and contestation, this anniversary conference provides a solid occasion to reflect to come together and look forward.
We invite concise, 60-minute panel sessions that spark dialogue on collaborative research and/or education across universities, innovative policy initiatives, or generating discussion. Proposals that meaningfully involve GMD alumni, students, and societal actors are especially welcome. We also encourage panels that adopt an LDE approach, integrating perspectives from Leiden, Delft and Erasmus researchers within a trans-disciplinary framework. See the proposal guidelines and submission details below.
