To suggest a panel topic please use the following guidelines:

• Proposed research topics can focus on any area that is relevant to climate-related migration, even if the Duke team is not explicitly examining the nexus between climate change and migration. However, the relevance for climate-related migration should be made explicit in the submission. 
• Successful submissions will include a Duke researcher/team and will identify D.C.-based potential panelists, including some from non-academic institutions. The PCRM team can help with finding moderators and/or additional D.C.-based panelists if needed.
• Panels will include approximately 4 presenters (including the Duke team) and a moderator. The relevance for climate-related migration should be made explicit in the submission.
• Panels will be approximately 90 minutes each, with 12-15 minutes for each presenter and time for audience discussion.
• Panels that focus on presenting findings from research are encouraged, but should be done for a broad audience – focusing on findings and importance rather than methodological detail (which can be covered in Q&A).
• Invitees for the audience will include U.S. government agencies, Congressional staffers, NGOs, foundations, non-profit organizations, think tanks, and universities in the Washington, DC area.

For Individual Presenters

If you have policy-relevant findings to present to a broad audience, please consider submitting even if you do not have a full set of panelists.

Panel Funding

• Funding for transportation and accommodations will be provided for Duke researchers (up to 2 per selected team).
• Funding is not available to cover travel for non-Duke panelists.
• Meals will be provided for all attendees.
