From the HostsWelcome to the Transatlantic Forum on Migration and Integration!On behalf of the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, we are pleased towelcome you to the third annual Transatlantic Forum on Migration and Integration (TFMI). We are proud tohost such a diverse and interesting group of 65 young leaders, whose experience with migration topics in over25 countries will undoubtedly foster interesting and fruitful exchanges.The location for the third TFMI was decided upon for a variety of reasons. After hosting TFMI in Germanyand in the United States, predominantly receiving societies, hosting TFMI in Turkey offers an extended focus.In recent history and until the present day, Turkey has been a country of origin of migrants that is significantfor the European migration debate. At the same time, it is also a major destination country and plays animportant role in transit migration to the European Union. Izmir in particular is often referred to as the“gateway” to Europe.Overall, TFMI is designed to foster a transatlantic dialogue on migration and integration issues from a varietyof perspectives. Since migration topics are often politically sensitive, all workshops and meetings will be offthe-record,and frank, open discussions are welcome and encouraged.Thank you for participating in the Transatlantic Forum on Migration and Integration. We are delighted thatyou could join us for this important event in its third year.Craig KennedyPresidentThe German Marshall Fund of the United StatesDieter BergChairman of the Board of ManagementRobert Bosch Stiftung2 | T h e T R a n s a t l a n t i c f o r u m o n M i g r a t i o n a n d I n t e g r a t i o n
