We at RuWell are thrilled to announce that we shall take the lead in organizing IAMO’s prestigious annual scientific conference, the IAMO Forum, scheduled for June 18-20, 2025. Next year’s event, organised under the theme, “Rural Roots and Routes: Navigating Complexities of Quality of Life, Immobility, and Migration”, will feature a diverse range of insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and great networking opportunities for scholars and researchers. The conference presentations and sessions are organised around five key thematic areas:

1. Quality of Life and Well-being in Rural Areas

2. (Im)mobility and Place Attachment

3. Migration Amid Climate Change

4. Role of Policies in Mobility Decisions
