About this Event
Migration is inherently linked to prosperity – from the dynamism of labour markets to the diffusion of skills, innovation, and ideas. Yet the relationship is complex, shaped by economic theory, global evidence, and national context. Some perspectives see migration as a direct boost to GDP and innovation through labour supply and diversity; others stress the importance of skills matching, integration, and institutional capacity to turn movement into momentum.
The 2025 ANU Migration Update will bring together leaders from government, industry, academia, and civil society to explore how migration policies can best drive national prosperity and long-term innovation. At The Australian National University and hosted by the ANU Migration Hub, participants will hear from senior parliamentarians, leading economists, and international experts on the latest research, global trends, and practical strategies for harnessing human mobility in the national interest.
With plenary panels, high-level workshops, and networking opportunities in iconic settings, this flagship event - sponsored by the Department of Home Affairs and in partnership with the International Organization for Migration - will help shape the conversation on migration, innovation, and Australia’s future.
