Conference Venue


The conference will be held at Malmö University. Malmö University, established in 1998, is one of Sweden’s largest and most innovative universities. It offers a wide range of programs and conducts cutting-edge research in areas like migration, international relations, sustainability, and new media. 

If you are curious, you can discover more about Malmö University and the Malmö Institute for Migration Studies. 

Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden and is one of Sweden’s fastest growing metropolitan centres. Driving this growth is immigration, both from abroad and from other parts of Sweden. Malmö has a young population, almost half of the residents are under 35. The city’s inhabitants come from 186 countries and speak some 150 different languages. This diversity is one of Malmö’s key assets and creates the basis for a rich cultural life. 

The weather in June can vary, so be prepared for temperatures between 13°C and 25°C. 

Conference Location 
The event will take place in two buildings on the Malmö University campus: 
• Niagara Building – Nordenskiöldsgatan 1
