In May 2025, the Research Centre of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF-FZ) celebrates its 20th anniversary and therefore invites to an international, scientific conference that will be held on 21 and 22 May 2025 in Nuremberg. The latest topics in migration and integration research will be discussed, such as the recruitment of skilled labour or the social participation of refugees. Ahead of this conference, another conference will be held specifically dedicated to the situation of people who are obliged to leave the country on 20 and 21 May 2025. We cordially invite researchers to participate in the events with their contributions.
When the Immigration Act came into force in 2005, the Federal Office was commissioned to conduct scientific research on the topics of migration and integration. This laid the foundation for today's Migration, Integration and Asylum Research Centre of the Federal Office (BAMF-FZ). The BAMF-FZ studies migration to and from Germany and analyses the effects of immigration from different perspectives. It sheds light on integration processes and makes a decisive contribution to the further development of integration measures by policy recommendations derived from its findings and research results. Its research also focuses on labour and educational migration, refugee migration, return as well as security-related aspects of immigration. More than 50 employees work at the BAMF-FZ, which was expanded in 2021 to include a Research Data Centre (BAMF-FDZ).
"We can look back on 20 exciting and insightful years of migration and integration research. In recent years, these topics have become particularly important for Germany. For example, we are facing rising numbers of migrations to Germany as a consequence of international wars and crises . Furthermore, the shortage of skilled labour as a result of demographic change and educational expansion is becoming more noticeable. Our research responds to various challenges in these areas and provides findings that po-licymakers can utilise in dealing with them. Wherever possible, we seek dialogue and network with scientists from other research institutions in order to broaden our perspectives and join forces. Our international conferences in May 2025, which I am very much looking forward to, will also provide such a networking opportunity." says Dr. Axel Kreienbrink, Head of the BAMF Research Centre.
