Call for Extended Abstracts: International Conference on "20 years of the BAMF Research Centre" , Date: 2025.06.02, format: Informationsblatt, area: Authority , Topic "analyse. evaluate. inform"

Since 2005, the Research Centre at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF-FZ) has been conducting research on a wide range of migration and integration issues in accordance with its statutory mandate, thereby contributing significantly to scientific advice on migration and integration policy. To mark its 20th anniversary, the BAMF-FZ is organising an international conference in Nuremberg. As the event originally planned for 2025 had to be postponed, it is now going to take place on February 24 and 25, 2026.

We welcome contributions from various disciplines, such as sociology, political science, economics, history or psychology, which empirically deal with one of the following topics from different methodological perspectives:

  • Immigration of skilled labour to Germany
  • Living situation of refugees in Germany
  • Migration decisions: Stay, return or onward migration

We particularly welcome submissions based on data made available via the BAMF Research Data Centre (BAMF-RDC) and/or in the collection of which the BAMF-FZ was involved. Contributions based on other data sources will also be considered.
