International Conference

28 – 29 November 2024
Istituto Svizzero, Rome, Italy

Human mobility is a critical driver of societal change, shaping social, economic, political, and cultural transformations across Europe. In countries like Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the Nordic nations, immigration remains central to sociopolitical debates, often framed by populist narratives. This event seeks to reframe the discourse, focusing on the innovative contributions of migrants, both historical and contemporary, to areas such as technological progress, labor markets, gender equality, consumer behavior, and political participation. By examining demographic shifts and their impacts, particularly in Italy and beyond, the discussions aim to uncover fresh perspectives and connect with academic and cultural institutions in Rome to expand the conversation’s scope and relevance.
