WELCOME TO THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL METROPOLIS CONFERENCE SITE

INTRODUCTION

People on the move grow increasingly diverse, and so do the routes, processes and places involved. For this reason, the 11th International Metropolis Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, sought to provide a forum to foster the exchange of knowledge and encourage dialogue among specialists and decision-makers from places that send and receive migrants. The 11th International Metropolis Conference, with “Paths & Crossroads: Moving People, Changing Places” as its theme, addressed a wide range of issues related to globalisation, diversity and current complex migratory phenomena. This conference made for an excellent occasion to engage in highly relevant and much-needed policy debates as well as to develop new research areas. In light of the particular experience Portugal has had as both a country of emigration and immigration, this year’s conference took a closer look at the effects of migration in the places that send and receive migrants and the relationship between them. It was a week of intense discussion and exchange of knowledge and experience that also allowed participants to take time out to explore Lisbon's charming neighbourhoods, historical monuments, museums and gardens.
