The Mediterranean lies at the heart of migration studies in Europe and, currently, it is a focal point of large-scale human displacement.

The 2018 IMISCOE Annual Conference raises the theme “Europe, migrations and the Mediterranean: human mobilities and intercultural challenges” and will take place in Barcelona (July 2-4, 2018).
