Our Scholarly Commitment
TMC provides a premier forum for exchanging ideas, presenting cutting-edge research findings, and networking with colleagues passionate about migration studies. We welcome contributions from diverse disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, geography, political science, economics, law, and public health.
Organized by an international team of scholars, TMC is hosted in a different location each year, attracting participants from a wide array of backgrounds and regions. The conference offers invaluable opportunities for both established researchers and early career scholars to engage in meaningful discussions, collaborate on innovative projects, and deepen their understanding of critical migration issues.
We believe TMC plays a crucial role in advancing knowledge and understanding of migration dynamics, ultimately contributing to informed policymaking and effective interventions within the field.
Our Peer-Review Process
The Migration Conference is a peer-reviewed scholarly gathering. All submissions undergo a rigorous evaluation process overseen by the Conference Committee members and ad hoc reviewers. They meticulously scrutinize submissions for scientific merit, style, and presentation.
Referees, nominated by the Track Chairs and Conference Chairs, are integral to maintaining an impartial assessment. To ensure fairness, reviewer identities remain confidential, meaning authors will not know who has assessed their work. Presenters and authors are expected to adhere closely to provided guidelines and thoughtfully address all feedback when preparing their final manuscripts and presentations. This collaborative approach guarantees the highest quality of contributions and upholds the scholarly integrity that defines The Migration Conference.
We look forward to welcoming you to TMC 2026 in Bratislava!
