International Conference

5–6 November 2024 – University of Geneva

The 21st century has introduced new forms of mobility, reshaping migration, family life, careers, and social progress. Yet, these pathways often meet significant resistance: international migration faces strict policies; new family dynamics sometimes clash with cultural norms; emerging career paths can be limited by relocation costs; and social mobility, especially across generations, remains constrained by systems like education. This conference will bring together leading researchers to explore these dynamics through two perspectives developed by the National Centers of Competence in Research (NCCR): the Life Course Perspective Centre LIVES, Lausanne and Geneva, and the migration-mobility nexus the nccr – on the move, Neuchâtel.
