The Migration Policy Centre Annual Conference, 7-8 June 2018, EUI, Florence
to:08-06-2018
The Migration Policy Centre (MPC) conducts advanced research on the transnational governance of international migration, asylum and mobility. It aims to provide new ideas, rigorous evidence and critical thinking to inform major European and global policy debates. To help achieve these goals, the MPCâs Annual Conference brings together academics, policy-makers and practitioners to discuss new ideas and the latest research evidence on some of the most important migration policy questions in Europe and beyond.
This yearâs conference included research and policy debates about: the characteristics of human smuggling and the implications for policies aimed at reducing irregular migration; asylum policies and integration challenges; the potential tensions between national institutions (especially national welfare states) and common EU policies on migration and mobility; the future of the global governance of migration, with a focus on the two new âglobal compactsâ on migration and refugees; the variations and determinants of public opinion on migrants; the relationships between migration, foreign aid, and development; the characteristics of mobilities in the Mediterranean; and recent migration policy developments in North America and other world regions.
