On September 7, the Center for Advanced Migration Studies (AMIS), University of
Copenhagen hosts a roundtable on the current Refugee Crisis.
Two DIIS senior researchers, Hans Lucht and Ninna Nyberg Sørensen participate.
The Roundtable will discuss the dramatic events characterizing Europe’s current
response to refugees. Recently, the UNHCR warned of the existence of a record-
breaking 60 million refugees globally. As regards Europe, the war in Syria, ISIS in
Iraq and the collapse of the Libyan state has meant a large increase of asylum
seekers. The response has been tighter border control, deterrence measures and
combatting smugglers. But while fences and Frontex operations are politically
salient, comparatively little political good-will has followed the EU Commission’s
proposal to resettle asylum seekers or the UNHCR’s call to increase the relocation
of refugees.
Other roundtable participants include:
Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen
(IMR),
Line
Richter
(Department of Anthropology, UCPH) &
Martin Lemberg-Pedersen
(AMIS,
UCPH).
Time: 7 September 2015, 17:30-20:30
Place: Københavns Universitet, Karen Blixens Vej 4 DK-2300 Copenhagen
S, Room 21.0.54, UCPH, South Campus
