Linking policy and academia: Transnational Families in Europe

Date: 13/14 May 2024
Venue: CASTLE – Centre for the Study of Transnational Families, Babeș-Bolyai University of
Cluj-Napoca (UBB) Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Join us in Cluj, Romania, for a thought-provoking symposium that aims to critically examine the
intersection of migration policies and transnational family dynamics in Europe. Together, we will
explore avenues for research-policy dialogue and collaborative action to ensure the rights and wellbeing of migrant families are upheld in policy-making processes. We will bring together scholars,
researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers working in fields related to migration, family, policy,
and related disciplines. The first day of the symposium will consist of paper presentations,
workshops and a keynote. On the second day of the symposium, we have a special training for early
career researchers such as PhDs and postdocs on how to relate academic research to policy.
