Each spring, the Columbia University Partnership for International Development (CUPID) holds a major conference at Columbia University on an international development issue. The conference gathers a multidisciplinary panel of scholars and practitioners from the University and beyond to present and discuss their perspectives. The day-long conference is free and open to all.


This year's conference seeks to evaluate the consequences of global migration on diverse fields such as health, business, education and the environment while also considering what steps should be taken around migration that best supports international development.
