are honoured to invite you to the conference
Circular Migration of the TCN – the CEE Experiences
30th May, 2011
Venue: Ballroom, Tyszkiewiczów-Potockich Palace , University of Warsaw, 32 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street
The scholarly study of circular migration is still in its early stages, even if policy makers have heralded the idea of ‘circular’ migration with great enthusiasm as the solution to many of our migration ‘problems’ (supposedly addressing at once labour market shortages – by providing quickly and flexibly labour force on demand – and the migrant integration challenges – since circular migrants are not there to stay and hence will create very limited if any integration challenges). Shall we really be so enthusiastic about this form of migration?

On May 13-14, 2010 the University of Warsaw celebrates the scientific achievements of Professor Robert B. Zajonc, one of the most creative and influential social psychologist of the XXth century.
Born and raised in Poland, he immigrated to the US in 1948 but his ties to his motherland remained strong throughout his scholarly career. Not only was Professor Zajonc a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of Warsaw, he was also instrumental in establishing the Institute for Social Studies (ISS) at the University of Warsaw in 1991 as a sister institution of the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan.
To commemorate Professor Zajonc's role in its founding,
ISS will be proudly renamed
the Robert B. Zajonc Institute for Social Studies.
As part of the commemoration there will be a conference in which several of his fellow scientists will discuss Professor Zajonc's work and its impact on their own thinking and research. We extend a very warm invitation to all of Bob's colleagues, students and friends to participate in this celebration of the life and scholarship this most distinguished Polish-American psychologist.
