The starting event of the project was the 'Migration and Demographic Challenges in the Nordic-Baltic Region' conference on 7 & 8 March 2013 at Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn, Estonia. The aim of the conference was to bring together the results from a number of studies on migration and labour mobility in the Nordic countries and Baltic States. Researchers, experts and policy- and decision-makers gathered to exchange experiences and present key findings from recent studies in order to start shaping a common understanding in the region regarding migration and demographic challenges. Around 240 participants attended the two-day conference. The event also marked the start of the Swedish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers for 2013.

The project continued with an expert seminar in Vilnius in April. We and our partners are making preparations for a follow-up seminar in Tallinn this autumn. The seminar will focus more on smart migration policy.
