A recently published report from the Vienna Migration Conference 2024 features Prof. Tuba Bircan's contribution to the discussion on new technologies and migration. The report (available here) includes reflections from various panels, including “On the Brink of a New Era: Navigating the Future of Tech in Migration”, where Prof. Tuba Bircan highlighted the potential of predictive models in forecasting migration flows — while stressing that data quality remains key to their effectiveness.
The VMC is an annual event for international policymakers, showcasing research, influencing policy, and building strategic connections within the migration field. It serves as a premier international platform for high-level discussions on migration in Europe and beyond, addressing current geopolitical dynamics, global trends, and the EU migration agenda.
