A series of seminars and workshops on “Population and Migration” will be organized in Córdoba (Argentina) on 21-23 February 2006, within the framework of the International Forum on the Social Science - Policy Nexus.
The International Forum is organized by UNESCO in partnership with the Governments of Argentina and Uruguay and with the support of a wide range of academic and policy organizations.

Over a thousand participants are expected at the Forum.
The workshops and seminars to be held in Córdoba on 21-23 February will address core issues raised by contemporary migration flows, such as:
- forced migration and asylum
- globalization and migrants’ transnational lives and identities
- cultural and environmental impact of migration
- the legal framework of migration and migrants’ rights
- intergovernmental and regional cooperation in the elaboration of migration policies
- and scenarios for the future of migration.
The presence of policy-makers, researchers and NGO members will enable the development of new forms of cooperation between policy and social sciences, with the ambition of bringing better responses to today’s challenges.
