"The international conference "European Governance of Migration" takes place in the run up to the second UN conference Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD). The Berlin conference in September 2008 should develop further ideas and impulses for the GFMD debate in Manila in October. The conference "European Governance of Migration" will bring together well known experts and actors in politics, academics, economics, and civil society from Europe and North America as well as from the sending countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. High level representatives in politics particularly from the European Commission and the UN are expected to be in attendance. During the three day conference, the participants will have the opportunity to exchange perspectives, to create options and strategies for cooperation and to formulate concrete recommended actions for a European migration policy."
