Registration open for AspirE's final conference!
18 September 2025

It is a pleasure to share more information about the final conference of the AspirE project titled “Migration decision-making in Asia-Europe social spaces”, which will take place on 11-12 December at Usquare.
Led by Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot, AspirE has worked to humanise the study of migration between Asia and Europe over the past years, combining video diaries, in-depth interviews, and collaborative methods to gain fresh insights into the aspirations and lived experiences of migrants. The final conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and community voices to reflect on our findings, discuss their broader implications, and explore future directions. The programme will feature:
- Presentations of AspirE’s research outcomes
- Roundtable discussions with our sister projects
- An exhibition showcasing materials collected during the project
- Short documentaries produced by local teams based in Thailand and Portugal
- Opportunities for dialogue and networking
📅 Date: 11-12 December (day 1 hybrid, day 2 onsite)
📍 Location: ULB-VUB site Usquare, Building AC, Blvd Général Jacques 210A, Brussels (Belgium)
