Donostia-San Sebastián. Organized by the Basque Government’s Directorate for the Basque Community Abroad, the AEMI (Association of European Institutes of Migration) Conference will take place September 29-Ocotober 3rd at the Palacio Miramar in Donostia-San Sebastian. The theme or chosen title for this year is “Relations between diasporas and their home countries: New migrations, return movements and historical context (roots).” The organization is now accepting presentation proposals.
Keeping in mind that as last year’s conference had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, organizers decided to leave this year’s theme more open, including return. The 2021 conference aims to provide researchers a more open umbrella, although the vperspective of the AEMI is that of the country of origin..
There will be three kinds of presentations:
- Single speaker presentation – a stand-alone proposal in which each individual will have 15 minutes to make their presentation – usually as part of a three person panel – a unified proposal for a self-contained panel on a particular theme (normally comprising of three presenters) – 45 minutes will be available for the entire panel. The presentations can include any artistic or cultural discipline.
- A workshop – this can take several forms but the critical element is a commitment to inter-activity and audience participation – each workshop will be allotted 30 minutes.
- A round-table – the organizers of the conference will invite key participants to take part in a round-table / podium discussion.
The conference language will be English. The event at the Palacio Miramar in Donostia. Sessions can be followed online. Members of the AEMI will participate for free and non-members are also welcome.
Abstracts of 200-300 words in English should be sent no later than Friday, April 30, to Benan Oregi (Oregi@euskadi.eus) or to Naiara Bedialauneta (Nbedialauneta@euskaldi.eus), along with a brief CV.
This is the second time tha the Basque Government has organized an AEMI Conference. The first took place in 2010 in Bilbao.
