20 June, Brussels
ReROOT Final Event
June 20th at the Royal Library of Belgium
Join us for the ReROOT Project Final Event, a comprehensive day dedicated to exploring our findings and policy insights on arrival infrastructures in Europe. This event will bring together experts, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss the future of migration and integration beyond crisis scenarios. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a series of presentations and discussions, gain valuable insights from our team of researchers, and participate in interactive policy roundtables.

Throughout the day, we will delve into key topics such as the forms of arrival and future social mobility produced by contemporary arrival infrastructures, the players involved in setting up and maintaining these infrastructures, and the conditions under which they operate. We will also explore practical actions in arrival infrastructure, including platform building with the presentation of our comprehensive toolkit, Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit: A guide for Practitioners, Policymakers, and Community Builders. Additionally, we will share selected theoretical contributions collected in our accompanying handbook, Infrastructuring Arrival: envisioning the migration-integration nexus beyond crisis.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading voices in the field, network with peers, and contribute to shaping the future of migration and integration research, practice and policies in Europe. We look forward to welcoming you in Brussels for a day of insightful dialogue and collaborative learning!
