The Swiss Network of Young Migration Scholars warmly invites early-career researchers—doctoral and postdoctoral—to participate in its annual conference at the University of Berne. This event provides a collegial space to present current research, receive feedback, and engage in critical exchange with peers from across disciplines.

​

Participants will give a 10–15 minute presentation of their ongoing research projects, followed by a 10–15 minute discussion and feedback round. We welcome contributions on all aspects of migration, broadly conceived. Submissions from all disciplinary backgrounds and at any stage of research are encouraged.

​

The conference follows the principle of “chacun·e sa langue”: participants are encouraged to present in the language in which they are most comfortable (French, German, Italian or English). Discussions will be multilingual.
