Migration

The Migration Theme brought together strands of Migration research from all Schools at the University through a series of Fellow-focussed events, consolidating key areas of enquiry and establishing and extending international networks in the field of Migration.

Our Migration Theme was led by Professor Darren Smith, with Dr Antonis Vradis and Professor Marsha Meskimmon hosting Fellows through the Theme. The theme brought Fellows from across disciplines to Loughborough’s campus, with a number of high-profile lectures, including Nobel Prize Winner Professor Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, President of the Royal Society, who delivered a talk on ‘Migration in Science - implications for post-Brexit Britain’ in May 2018.
