USA for IOM, along with its partners USA for UNHCR and the Harvard Data Science Review (HDSR), hosted a 3-Day World Migration and Displacement Symposium: Data Disinformation and Human Mobility.
This event featured high-level speakers from the UN, NGOs, and academia discussing the nexus of disinformation, vulnerable populations, and COVID-19. It concluded with a keynote fireside chat by IOM Director General Antonio Vitorino and Founding Editor-In-Chief of the Harvard Data Science Review, Xiao-Li Meng.
Partnerships between academia, humanitarian actors, and key voices in the data science community strengthens USA for IOM’s mandate to combat the negative rhetoric around human mobility.
As an extension of the symposium, the open-access journal, Harvard Data Science Review (HDSR) will publish a special theme edition on migration.
