4 Topics - 4 Labs

Each of the 4 Future Labs will focus on a migration issue:

  • AGING SOCIETIES

    The world is aging unevenly. While some regions remain demographically young, the Global North – Europe in particular – is facing a rapid contraction of its working-age population.

  • CLIMATE CHANGE

    Climate change is not only altering landscapes—it is reshaping the conditions under which people decide where to live, how to move, and how to build futures in the face of accelerating environmental disruption.

  • GLOBALIZING CITIES

    Mega‑cities worldwide are growing at a rapid pace. They are transforming the very conditions of mobility, opportunity, and (in)equality.

  • PLACELESS WORK

    With advanced digital technologies enabling work from virtually anywhere, mobility is no longer solely driven by economic necessity, family connections, or environmental factors.
