PhD and Postdoc Colloquium in Forced Migration and Refugee Research

15-16 October 2026 – Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS), Osnabrück University (on site), organised by SFB 1604 and the BMBF-funded project 'Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer' (FFVT)

The Collaborative Research Centre “Production of Migration” (  SFB 1604) and the BMBF-funded project “Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer” (  FFVT) offer a fully-funded two-day colloquium in the field of forced migration and refugee research. It is open to PhD researchers and early career Postdocs based in Germany.

The colloquium aims to provide support and facilitate exchange among junior researchers who work on issues related to forced migration and refugee studies. It provides a platform for presenting and discussing ongoing PhD and Postdoc projects alongside opportunities for joint reflection on concepts, categories, and methodologies in dialogue with reflexive approaches in migration research. The colloquium aims to foster exchange and networking that can extend in future workshops.

We invite contributions on a broad range of topics such as conflict-related internal and international migration, climate-induced migration, the governance or control of migration including restrictions, borders and barriers to migration and mobility, topics related to arrival, integration or exclusion as well as deportation, return and reintegration; also, theoretical, conceptual and methodological considerations are welcome.
