Call for Proposals
The Maastricht Centre for Citizenship, Migration and Development (MACIMIDE) holds its 11th Annual Work Conference on 23 September 2024. This year, the Conference is co-organised with Studio Europa Maastricht. MACIMIDE is Maastricht University’s interdisciplinary research center for interfaculty collaboration in the fields of migration, mobility, citizenship, development, and family life. Each year MACIMIDE organizes an Annual Work Conference where researchers present and discuss their work around diverse research themes cutting across the disciplinary fields represented by the faculties and schools of Maastricht University.
For the 11th MACIMIDE Annual Work Conference, we invite proposals for individual paper presentations, themed panels and workshops that address various issues regarding migration. Examples from previous years include matters of education, transnationalism, return, welfare, labour market, citizenship, health, well-being, technological change and security, discrimination, identity and inclusion. In line with the mission of Studio Europa Maastricht, we especially invite submissions that are focused on Europe and societal impact of research.
Proposals should be max. 500 words. Individual papers will be grouped into thematic panels for the conference and there will be an opportunity to publish them as Studio Europa Working Papers. Workshops should last 60-90 minutes and present or enable exchanges on innovative or creative research methods, approaches or themes, or broader academic activities and interests such as creative thinking or science communication.
Please submit your abstract by May 19 via this Qualtrics form: https://maastrichtuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8B9XXlokiBXTGR0
You will be notified about the outcome by the end of May.
Participation in the conference is free, but you need to register in advance (and finance/arrange for your own travel accommodation, if necessary). The deadline for registration is September 9. Registration will be opened in June.
