This Friday, 27 March, Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn, Estonia will host the 'Labour Migration in the Nordic-Baltic Region. New Trends of Labour Migration – Ready for the Changes?' conference, at which researchers, experts and policy-shapers will discuss whether the region is prepared for new trends which could see Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania becoming migration destinations, including for those returning from other countries. Watch live straming of the conference (Estonian and English).

The migration conference, which is being held for the third year in a row, will focus primarily on the labour migration of European Union citizens and on the Nordic-Baltic region. Whereas just two years ago the topic of migration required more of an introduction, with discussion needing to be sparked and large-scale emigration and the threat of a 'brain drain' setting off alarm bells, this year's conference comes at a time when migration is the focus of fiery debates in Estonia and the Nordic countries – indeed, it was one of the key issues of the recent parliamentary elections in Estonia.
