Borders and the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in the European Union
Dr. Birte Nienaber, Dr. Claudia Paraschivescu and Dr. Lucas Oesch from the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, University of Luxembourg, will organise a workshop at the annual IMISCOE conference which will take place in Barcelona, 2-4 July 2018.
The workshop is entitled ‘Borders and the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in the European Union. Insights from the Mediterranean Basin and beyond.’ It will explore the refugee situation in both the Mediterranean (Spain and Turkey) and centrally located European countries, such as Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany. As such, it aims to offer a holistic view of the Mediterranean from a geographical and political perspective whilst following the routes that the migrants embark on.
