In her talk Vasiliki discussed the design principles, construction processes, and material characteristics of the “Closed Control Access Centres” of the Eastern Aegean archipelago. Participating in the conference provided a valuable opportunity to share research conducted at the intersection of migration and technology, developed within The GAME ERC project, with the broader academic community working on technology and society, as well as to gain inspiration from fellow panelists for the ongoing development of the research on borderscapes and migratory routes.
