Researchers from Norway, Sweden, Swiss, Serbia, Austria, Australia, Germany, Slovenia, France, Croatia and BiH participated in the panel and presented their research papers on the topic of migration and diaspora. The focus was on issues such as integration of migrants from BiH in the receiving countries, connections of immigrants from BiH with their homeland and the State and Diaspora in the context of globalization.

Talking about the reasons why this workshop was initiated, Ms. Ruzmira Tihić-Kadrić, Assistant Minister for Diaspora Matters at Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees of BiH, emphasized that although BiH is a country with a lot of migration flows, so far there has not been many research on this subject and she expressed her belief that this workshop represents an opportunity to learn more about the migration from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The final common session was devoted to the discussion about the possibilities for this workshop to become the initial phase of the research program and focused dialogue that will continue to integrate the various researches on migration, and discussion about the role of institutions in BiH as well as the role of the academic community and other organizations in BiH in the future cooperation.
