Abstract: In this talk we will present some of the systems involved in the datafication of migration and the governance of refugees. We will summarise data-driven tools used by international organizations, the EU and its member states to manage refugees and migrants. By introducing these tools we will try to depict the politics implemented by these socio-technical systems and question if data functions to systematically stigmatize, exclude and oppress ‘unwanted’ migrant populations through mechanisms of criminalisation, identification, and social sorting.
