Migration is an increasing global public health priority associated with considerable health
impacts. Migrant and ethnic minorities experience a range of diverse health needs influenced
by their legal and socio-economic situation, which may challenge health systems, policies and
practices in receiving countries.
The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) and the Centre for Migration and Intercultural Studies
(CeMIS) of the University of Antwerp jointly organise an interdisciplinary seminar for academia, service providers, and policy-makers to reflect on current research gaps, future research needs, priorities and obstacles. The aim of the seminar is to bring in your perspective and reflect on future research initiatives.
