VI International Meeting of Researchers in Immigration and Asylum Law will take place from 14th to 15th June at the University of Valencia, tackling the initiative of several researchers and lecturers who have focused on the study and the critical analysis of legal issues on migration and asylum.
Successive meetings have been held at different Universities, such as: Barcelona, Girona, Comillas and Huelva, consolidating a collaborative network and scientific exchange between specialists on Migration and Asylum Law in different universities, located in Spanish and abroad. Therefore, in order to foster a scientific debate on issues regarding migration and asylum, taking into account the implementation of the Stockholm Programme (2010-2014), the Human Rights Institute of the University of Valencia organizes this sixth meeting.
On this occasion, besides the consolidated group of researchers who have met regularly in the previous conferences, international jurists and specialists will participate in this issue. Among them, Thomas Spijkerboer, Paul Santolaya, Aurelia Álvarez, Sergio Carrera, Yves Pacouau, Steven Peers, Gyulai Gabor, Mary Teresa Gil-Bazo and Javier De Lucas. The main proposal of this event is to foster scientific discussion and to exchange views on those matters, giving the opportunity to young researchers to involve on these meetings. Finally, the aim is to redress the need to reflect the scope and the impact of the integration and equal rights, within a framework of legal and policy review in the multilevel management model of immigration and asylum in the European Union in general, and particularly in Spain.
