We are happy to share the first newsletter of our new LDE Centre Governance of Migration and Diversity which officially started in January 2020.
Due to the circumstances we had to postpone our kick-off conference to 2021. Nevertheless, we are currently developing our centre and network and would like to share our latest developments and activities.
