DAMR Annual Congress 2026 hosted by RUNOMI

July 29, 2026

RUNOMI, on behalf of DAMR (Dutch Association for Migration Research), is looking forward to welcome you at the DAMR Annual Congress, taking place September 25 at Radboud University hosted by RUNOMI.

Each year, DAMR provides an interdisciplinary platform for migration scholars at different career stages to share their research and engage in discussions on pressing issues in migration studies, and do networking for further collaborations. This year, we will host 7 interdisciplinary panels on topics that range from migrant mobility and digitalization to labour migration and labour market inclusion.

During the Annual Congress we will have an introductory roundtable with leading migration scholars working in the Netherlands will discuss the position of migration research in the Netherlands. Where are we now regarding migration research and what are the developments? What are the major developments and challenges of the migration research field going forward?

DAMR will also host an intergenerational question section where junior scholars can ask questions from established senior scholars in the field of migration research.

Below you see the provisory planning for the day. The Elinor Ostrom building, follow the link to see how to get there. During the day there will be signage how to get to each room.
