Objectives

Five years after the endorsement of the 2018 Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM, A/Res/73/195), the envisioned outcome of the conference is a thematic and inclusive contribution to the development of its objective 18 “Invest in skills development and facilitate mutual recognition of skills, qualifications and competences”, and specifically the topic of transnational skill partnerships.
The scientific objectives are six-fold:

1. Evaluation of transnational skills partnerships’ claim to create a triple win for countries of origin, countries of destination and migrant workers.
2. Evaluation of needed transnational management structures
3. Identification of the potentials, limits and needed arrangements for transnational skill partnerships on the levels of skilled workers and academic degree holders.
4. Evaluation of transnational education institution as hubs for skill partnerships.
5. Evaluation of potentials, limitations and needed arrangements for transnational skill partnerships with the MENA and Sub-Saharan African regions.
6. Creation of a scientific network on transnational skill partnerships as a contribution to save, orderly and regular migration.
