8-9 November: International NORFACE conference on Migration and Citizenship Attribution
How do immigration and emigration affect the way in which states regulate the acquisition and loss of citizenship? Can immigrants retain their citizenship of origin when they obtain the citizenship of their new state of residence? Why do some states have no problem with the phenomenon of multiple citizenship, whereas in others this leads to strong societal opposition? Can you still be considered a citizen if you have lived your whole life abroad? What are the international regulations? What are the trends across Europe? How important are these debates anyway?
This is the third meeting in a series of four two-day interdisciplinary seminars, focusing on the theme ‘Challenges of Immigration for Smaller Countries of Europe’. The seminar series are sponsored by the NORFACE partnership between twelve research councils to increase co-operation in research and research policy in Europe. NORFACE receives core funding from the European Commission´s Sixth Framework Programme, under the ERA-NET scheme.
