We would like to announce the opening of the call for papers for the H2020 MOVE-project conference on Youth Mobility in the EU in March 2018.
The three-day conference in Luxemburg offers a platform for exchange and discussion on youth mobility in Europe from different perspectives, reflecting the challenges, risks and benefits of youth mobility in Europe. It will present the results of the overall research project, look into strategies of mobility, the fostering and hindering factors of mobility, as well as positive and negative effects, and describe emerging patterns of mobility within the EU. Six main topic streams will guide the flow of the conference, to which a call of papers is opened as of now:
• Mobility Policies and Politics
• Mobility and Agency
• Social Inequality and Youth Mobility
• Regional Aspects of Mobility (focus on post-socialist countries)

The following experts will contribute to the conference by speaking on several varied and controversial topics:

The audience will be varied and all people are invited to join the final conference.
