MIGRATION AND MOBILITY IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Hosted by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on the Integration of Migrants in Europe (IntoME), the third edition of the STS on Migration and Mobility in the Digital Age will take place at Tuscia University in Viterbo, providing Master’s, PhD students and practitioners an extensive and thorough understanding of four key aspects:

a) the progressive datafication of EU borders and its socio-political consequences;

b) the fundamental rights implications of data-driven frontiers;
