The
Association of European Migration Institutions is a network of forty organizations
located in Europe and working on the history of migrations in Europe, and on
the literature produced on this topic. The AEMI was founded in Germany in 1991
and made up of institutions and organizations in Europe whose field of interest
concern European migration in the past and in the present. They have joined
together to establish The Association of European Migration Institutions,
(AEMI).
AEMI
seeks to provide its members with an international forum through which they may
advance the knowledge of European migration, including, but not limited to the initiation
and pursuit of common research projects, the arrangement of meetings, international
symposia and multinational events and the dissemination of knowledge supplied
by members acting individually or in concern through all appropriate media.
Every
year members of this network come together in a different partner country to discuss
their projects and research. Today, twenty European countries are represented in
the AEMI.
This
year the annual AEMI conference will be held in Santiago de Compostela, with
its local partner organization Galician Migration Archive-Council of Galician
Culture, AEMI’s member since 2009.
The
conference will be about European migrant diasporas and cultural identities. It
will be developed in six sessions, on the following subjects: diasporas and
cultural identities in migration processes; migrant networks, associations and
the reproduction of cultural identities; dilemmas of assimilation and
acculturation in migration processes; mobilization of migrant communities;
migration studies and identity issues; migration center and their contribution
to multiculturalism; how AEMI institutions respond to migrations crisis in
Europe; connecting migrations and languages; refugee crisis.
