About MPI Europe

Migration Policy Institute Europe (MPI Europe) is a nonprofit, independent research institute devoted to providing a better understanding of migration in 21st century Europe. Based in Brussels, MPI Europe provides research and practical policy design to governmental and nongovernmental stakeholders who seek more effective management of migration, immigrant integration, and asylum systems as well as successful outcomes for newcomers, families of immigrant background, and receiving communities throughout Europe.

MPI Europe also provides a forum for the exchange of information on migration and immigrant integration governance within the European Union and across Europe, building upon the work of its parent, the Migration Policy Institute, and especially its Global Program.

The Institute helps governments to understand the potential impact of the policy options available, make balanced policy choices on the basis of rigorously analysed evidence, and develop coherent immigration systems that are both robust to shocks and respond to necessary change. It helps publics and immigrants access information and knowledge about migration trends, immigrants themselves, and their role in society; and build strong and equal European societies for both current and future generations.

MPI Europe recognises that well-reasoned and evidenced policy design is necessary, but may be insufficient if not accompanied by committed implementation and consistent monitoring of outcomes. As a result, the organisation focuses on the whole of the policy cycle, from conception to evaluation, and seeks to promote a coherent, well-governed, and comprehensive immigration system capable of addressing the economic, social, and security challenges of the 21st century.

In Brussels, analysts focus on comparative research within Europe on a broad range of issues, as well as policy development on the level of the European Union.
