The role of religion in migration processes has been widely studied; however, the nexus among religion, migration, and the digitalization process, as well as the implications that digitalization brings, continues to be less reflected in academic and policy debates. In order to contribute to this gap, the panel "Digitization, Religion, and Migration" is proposed. The panel aims to shed light on the current situation and bring local, regional, and national evidence of the digitalization of religion as well as the digitalization of migrant communities in the process of fostering better integration, peace, social cohesion, and better participation. The panel welcomes papers from various fields, such as social sciences, political science, law, computer science, etc.
