| The Metropolis Project The International Metropolis Project is a set of co-ordinated activities carried out by a membership of research, policy and non-governmental organizations who share a vision of strengthened migration policy by means of applied academic research. The Metropolis membership, now from over twenty countries and a number of international research and policy organizations representing a wide range of policy and academic interests, is sustained by the attractions of its core idea. It is the promise of more effective policy making, more socially meaningful research practices, and the excitement of international collaboration towards common goals that bring people to the Metropolis table to turn a vision into a concrete project. The underlying idea is that the members will work collaboratively on issues of immigration and integration, always with the goal of strengthening policy and thereby allowing societies to better manage the challenges and opportunities that immigration presents, especially to their cities. The City of Vienna, a long-time participant in the International Metropolis Project, became a full member in November 2001, on the occasion of the 6th International conference in Rotterdam. Who should attend The conference should be attended by researchers, policy makers, administrators and representatives of non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Metropolis wants to reach all those with a professional interest in international migration and urban processes. Graduate students and interested stakeholders in the private sector are also warmly welcomed. A special fee structure is being offered to make it easier for graduate students and NGO representatives to participate. | 8th International Metropolis Conference September 15-19, 2003 - Vienna, Austria JIMI Journal of International Migration and Integration | |
