DYNAMIG is a new international research and policy project that will analyse the decision-making of potential and actual migrants, and how migrants’ decisions and behaviour – and migration processes more broadly – are perceived and understood by policy actors. DYNAMIG will have a strong focus on migration from and within Africa. Led by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the DYNAMIG consortium includes eight research institutions across Europe and Africa, including the EUI’s Migration Policy Centre (MPC). 

MIDEQ and the UN University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR) are hosting – “From promises to practice: towards the effective implementation of the Global Compact Migration.” 

Hosted by the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health & Development (AIGHD) and the 
Joep Lange Institute (JLI), the Joep Lange Chair and Fellows Symposium brings together leading experts around a specific topic showcasing cutting-edge research. This year’s symposium will provide a platform to address the timely topic of Migration and Health.

The proposed special issue examines the pandemic’s impact on migrants in cities through the concept of urban (migrant) citizenship.

In this video, Melissa Siegel looks at a project evaluating the integration policies of European countries for those who are beneficiaries of international protection. “Beneficiaries of international protection” is a broad term that applies to many types of migrants who have fled their home countries to seek protection abroad. While we’ll primarily use the term “refugee” in this video, the project’s goals apply to asylum seekers, people with temporary protection, and resettled refugees. The National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) is a six-years long transnational project supporting key actors in the integration field to improve the integration outcomes of beneficiaries of international protection.

The ITEM annual conference in Groningen will focus on the impact of border regions on security, health and energy supply for the inhabitants of Europe’s internal borders. The current social developments in the fields of energy, health and safety still show that in order to tackle barriers, it is important to work together with partners on both sides of the border to arrive at the right casuistry, a joint concrete agenda and a structural approach. The current discussion around energy and the cross-border aspects involved require stronger inter-governmental governance (multilevel governance). 

In a recent video, Melissa Siegel looks at the top 10 countries of origin of people displaced across country borders in 2021.
