The project “Growing and ageing in the shadows:undocumented children and elderly migrants in European cities” (GRACE) is funded by the 4EU+ Alliance and brings together teams of scholars from the Prague Charles University, University of Copenhagen, University of Heidelberg, University of Milano, Paris Sorbonne University, and University of Geneva.
Following the exchanges conducted online since September 2025, the meeting in Geneva will give an opportunity to the members of the consortium to meet in person, to share and reflect on their local contexts and empirical findings, as well as to plan the development of joint research applications addressing the health of undocumented migrants across Europe.
In addition, a field visit to the Community health clinic of the Geneva University Hospitals will be conducted on May 19th in the morning.

Established in 2006 by the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), the Geneva Health Forum (GHF) is a Swiss not-for-profit initiative that brings together a diverse range of stakeholders to discuss and address global health challenges.
The GHF plays a pivotal role in the global health landscape, as a neutral and inclusive platform, fostering dialogue and collaboration among key players in the field, including policymakers, representatives from academia, civil society, and the private sector.
Its core mission is to facilitate constructive dialogue among these global health actors, which, in turn, contributes to the improvement of health policies and access to care worldwide. The Geneva Health Forum proudly collaborates with some of the most prominent international organizations based in Geneva.
