What can I expect at the 2022 Kaldor Centre Conference, 'Turning points: New directions in refugee protection?'
The Kaldor Centre team is working to build an outstanding virtual and in-person experience to reach a global audience. The event includes live virtual panel sessions featuring experts from around the world (with recorded content then available on demand) from 15-17 November, as well as in-person sessions at UNSW Sydney (a scholars' workshop and a special closing session, followed by a networking reception) on 18 November.
What are the conference dates?
The conference will feature live virtual panel events running from 15-17 November 2022 and in-person sessions at UNSW Sydney on 18 November 2022. On-demand content will be available following each panel event (available within 24 hours). All registered delegates will have access to all livestreamed and on-demand content. The conference program is available online here with further details to be announced.
Why are the virtual panel sessions spread over several days?
The 2022 Kaldor Centre Conference is designed for truly global reach. Our virtual panel sessions have been scheduled to enable delegates from various timezones to participate in at least some sessions live, which is why they are being held at different times of the day. All panel sessions will be recorded and offered on-demand following each panel event, so registered delegates can catch up on sessions at a time that suits their schedule.
Is the conference open to the public?
Yes. The Kaldor Centre provides a bridge between scholarship, policy and practice, and our conference is open to anyone interested in finding legal, sustainable and humane solutions for displaced people around the world.
I’m not in Australia, can I still participate?
Yes. We have organised virtual sessions at different times of the day to maximise opportunities for people in other timezones to join live. All panel sessions will also be recorded and offered on-demand following each panel event, so if you miss a session you will still be able to catch up at a time that suits you.
