Since the number and proportion of immigrants and ethnic minorities has increased in European countries in recent decades, learning more about the mechanisms behind and consequences of such heterogeneity is growing in importance. 

This international symposium will bring together migration researchers from different disciplines to discuss innovative research on migrants and their descendants. The symposium is part of the ERC funded MigrantLife project. It will take place, in person, in St Andrews, on the east coast of Scotland. 

Contributions in the following research areas of migration studies are sought: fertility and family; employment and education; housing and residential mobility; and ageing, health, and mortality. We particularly encourage research using longitudinal data and life course analysis. In addition, methodological research (including applications of projections and computational social science methods) along with qualitative or mixed methods papers are welcome.
