The age group of 30 to 39-year-olds living in the city of Zurich is extremely diverse. It is representative of a "superdiverse" society that is mostly composed of minorities. Among other things, this raises questions about affiliations, cohesion, joint commitment to the future and the importance of integration work. They were taken up at the Zurich Migration Conference 2018. The keynote speech was given by Prof. Steven Vertovec from the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen.

The Migration Conference 2018 took place on 27 September 2018 at the Bildungszentrum Werd.
