How do we start thinking about the future of forced migration? Aarathi Krishnan will bring her vast experience in humanitarian and development foresight to steer us on our journey into the future – and how we can prepare for it today.

How can new technologies serve not only to manage borders but also to strengthen accountability and assistance for displaced people? Will irregular movement still exist and will we forge cooperation – between governments and communities – to expand pathways to safety?

Will machines decide asylum claims? Will we still consider refugee applications on an individual case-by-case basis, and if not, what new approaches could we take? How can we respond effectively to mass movements and ensure fairness for people seeking asylum?

In an information landscape altered by algorithms and AI, what will turn the public conversation about refugees and migrants, and how? As people face disruptions in their own social, economic and cultural lives, how can we navigate these shifting dynamics to overcome division, and champion unity and respect?

Join the Kaldor Centre's Director, Professor Jane McAdam AO, as she reflects on the day's discussions and the implications of future megatrends for international refugee law.

A valuable opportunity for connection and exchange with leading thinkers and key actors from across the sector. Join us for drinks, canapes and conversation at our #Kaldor23 closing reception.

This hybrid workshop is an opportunity for early-career scholars in the field of refugee and forced migration studies to showcase new research and connect with a diverse range of researchers from around the world.
