Under the auspicies of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Populations (IUSSP), the event took place at the British Academy, London, on 20-21 November 2018.

At the workshop, the state of the art in tackling the uncertainty and complexity of human migration through formal modeling was summarized, and current research developments and opportunities were discussed. Bringing together a wide range of participants from academia as well as policy, the event was a great success.
