Dear visitor,
welcome to the official website of the International Conference on “Environment, Forced Migration and Social Vulnerability” (EFMSV) in Bonn, Germany.
We are pleased to host this highly relevant conference exactly at a time when the issue
of Climate Change and its linkages with migration is being increasingly discussed in policy making debates at local, national and international levels. The EFMSV-Conference will be an excellent opportunity to intensify the dialogue and bring together expertise from all continents.
This EFMSV-Conference will be the first conference to bring together about 400 international researchers, practitioners and professionals in order to discuss the sensitive and complex interplay of migration, environmental degradation and social vulnerability at a scientifically comprehensive and politically relevant level. It will strive to distill the current state of scientific research and debate with the perspective of providing a future outlook and policy-relevant recommendations.
We welcome and encourage participants from various disciplines and walks of professional life – including representatives from academia, public offices and ministries, NGOs, donors and humanitarian organisations – to participate in the conference.
I kindly invite you to register up until 15 September 2008. Please note, there will be no registration fees since we would like to allow a broader audience to participate in this international debate.
To learn more about the conference, please feel free to explore this website. Here you can find the latest news, registration procedures, useful information about accommodation, and other information that might be of interest to you.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Bonn and to having an insightful and rewarding exchange of thoughts and research results on this very important issue.
Sincerely,
