This conference is hosted by the International Migration Institute, IMI, an Oxford Martin School Institute

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of IMI, this conference seeks both to review the progress made in reaching the aim of developing a long-term and forward-looking perspective on international migration as an intrinsic part of global change, and to explore new conceptual horizons for understanding migration processes and their impacts for origin and destination societies.

In January 2006 the International Migration Institute (IMI) was founded at Oxford University by Stephen Castles and Steven Vertovec with the aim of developing a long-term and forward-looking perspective on international migration as an intrinsic part of global change. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of IMI, this conference seeks both to review the progress made in reaching these aims and to explore new conceptual horizons for understanding migration processes and their impacts for origin and destination societies.
