Transatlantic Council on Migration
The Transatlantic Council on Migration is a unique, deliberative body, launched in 2008, that supports pragmatic, evidence-based migration and integration policymaking across Europe and North America through essential analysis, high-level convenings, and cutting-edge policy advice to senior leaders.
The Council aims to help inform the transatlantic agenda and promote better-informed policymaking by proactively identifying critical policy issues, analyzing them in light of the best research, and bringing them to public attention. At the same time, it aims to serve as a resource for governments as they grapple with the challenges and opportunities associated with international migration. The Council’s goal is to support pragmatic and evidence-based policymaking that can adapt to evolving needs and changing political realities. Learn more about the Council here.
