The aim of the conference is not just to update and summarize the stage of knowledge, but, first and foremost, to identify existing gaps and opportunities for their future replenishment.
Migration is a well-known phenomenon throughout the development of mankind, however, its pace and importance began to increase significantly during the last two centuries, especially in the 20th century. In the last 20 years, Southeastern Europe, including Bulgaria, is one of the worlds’ regions with extremely prominent migration processes. In Bulgaria, as in other post-communist countries, migration flows have run with different intensity and directions and, in certain periods, marked by deep social and economic crisis, they have become extremely intensive. According to some data of the Bulgarian State Agency for the Bulgarians Abroad and of the Ministry of the Interior, around 650,000 Bulgarians live in different countries of the EU, around 350,000 in the USA and Canada and other 50,000 in Australia, New Zealand and the Republic of South Africa. These figures clearly indicate the presence of a significant Bulgarian diaspora in many countries, fact that imposes a number of
questions regarding both the countries of settlement and the sending countries. At the same time, Bulgaria started to experience the opposite processes as transit migration and immigration. The existing research on the migratory movements and transnational mobility to and from Bulgaria over the last 20 years is generally fragmentary and only covers certain aspects of the phenomenon. This conference’s goal is to help shaping the profile of migration flows and to lead to a systematization of the acquired knowledge. It’s international and interdisciplinary character is due to lead to positive results.
