Two Days - eight Speakers

Migration is currently a big issue in Europe. For some, immigration is considered to be a source of well-being economic, for others a source of social tourism and welfare loss.

We are pleased that we were able to engage eight renowned speakers in this discourse. Professor George Sheldon is one of the most prominent labor lawyers in Switzerland. With Professor Christian Dustmann, a recognized economist with a research focus on migration economics finds his way to Engelberg.
