A forum for sharing research, networking, and publishing on migration and the complex issues around it
Networking, Publishing, Free Tour, and More
We are pleased to announce the First International Conference on Migration, Refugees, and Global Challenges (MIGRATIONCONF), to be held in London from 26 - 28 February 2027. This inaugural migration conference provides a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on migration, refugee studies, and the complex global challenges shaping human mobility today.
As displacement and migration reach unprecedented levels, driven by conflict, climate change, economic inequality, and demographic shifts, the international refugee conference offers a space for experts to examine root causes, evaluate legal frameworks, and develop evidence-based solutions.
Participants of the international conference on migration will benefit from opportunities for publication in indexed journals, knowledge exchange, professional networking, and constructive feedback to advance their work. Additionally, a complimentary tour of London will be offered to foster connection and reflection.
Explore Our Pillars of Migration Studies
The international migration conference encourages submissions that reflect the multifaceted nature of migration and refugee issues. Key themes and topics include, but are not limited to:
investigating the political, economic, environmental, and social factors prompting voluntary and forced migration, from conflict and persecution to climate change.
exploring legal frameworks, humanitarian responses, and best practices for safeguarding refugees and asylum‑seekers, informed by international conventions and emerging policies.
examining pathways to social and economic integration for migrants and refugees, including labour market access, education, health, and cultural adaptation.
These topics illustrate the breadth of research and practice covered by this international migration conference. Interdisciplinary collaborations and comparative studies are especially welcome.

Conference Proceedings or Indexed Journals?
Authors have two main options when it comes to publishing their work. One option is to have their paper included in the conference proceedings, which come with an ISSN and a unique DOI for each paper. These proceedings will later be reviewed and included in Google Scholar, which helps make the research easier to find and may lead to more citations.
The other option is to submit the paper to be considered for publication in academic journals that are indexed in well-known databases such as SCOPUS, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. However, whether a paper is accepted for journal publication is entirely up to the journal editors.
Every paper submitted to the conference must first pass a plagiarism check before it is sent to the committee for peer review. If any plagiarism is found at any stage, the submission will be automatically rejected.
