MPI-EUI Project

A Global Project on Improving the Capacity for Responding to Global Challenges

 
This project identified ways in which European and U.S. immigration systems can be substantially improved to address major challenges policymakers confront on both sides of the Atlantic, in the context of the current economic turmoil and in the longer term.
 
The project was funded by the European Union and directed at the Migration Policy Institute by Demetrios Papademetriou and at the European University Institute’s Migration Policy Center at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, by Philippe Fargues. Read the final report here.
 
The research focused on eight challenges policymakers face in the United States and Europe (view focus areas at right).
