The workshop’s focus was broad, covering empirical economic research on these topics. The one day workshop had a small number of hour-long research presentations, and  included a poster session. The workshop aimed to foster new connections among scholars with common interests in these areas. Giovanni Peri from UCDavis will give the keynote lecture.

The workshop was part of the Role of European Mobility and its Impacts in Narratives, Debates and EU Reforms (REMINDER) project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme.
