The sixth conference in the series, TMC 2018 was held from 26 to 28 June 2018 and hosted by ISEG and IGOT, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal
The TMC 2018 was a forum for discussion where experts, young researchers and students, practitioners and policy makers working in the field of migration have joined the debate and exchanged their knowledge and experiences in a friendly and frank environment.
The conference was organised in thematic streams of about 140 parallel sessions and three plenary sessions, along with two developmental workshops, one photography exhibition, and four short movie screenings over three days. About 540 participants from over 60 countries have participated. Best Paper Presentation Prizes were given at the Gala Dinner on 28th June 2018 at Alentejo House in Lisbon.
Conference venue was ISEG (School of Economics and Management) at University of Lisbon in Portugal’s capital. Participants have also enjoyed the city’s museums and many attractions nearby.
