  • 1.  World Migration & Displacement Symposium: Data, Disinformation and Human Mobility

    Posted 04-23-2021 12:01

    You are cordially invited to register for the World Migration and Displacement Symposium: Data, Disinformation and Human Mobility, a virtual global event on May 11-13, 2021 to help combat the negative rhetoric around human mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Co-organized by the Harvard Data Science Review (HDSR), the United States Association for the International Organization for Migration (USA for IOM) and the United States Association for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (USA for UNHCR), the symposium will feature high level speakers from industry, NGOs, and academia who contribute to the conversation on the themes of disinformation, vulnerable populations, and COVID-19. The symposium will conclude with an interview of IOM's Director General António Vitorino, as part of our "Conversations with Leaders" series of HDSR.

    As an extension of the symposium, HDSR will be publishing a special theme edition that is anticipated to be available in December 2021 in recognition of International Migrants Day.

    Please visit the event website for registration and program details.
