Migrant Integration Governance After the Pandemic: Lasting adaptations?

3:00 P.M. CEST (Brussels, Berlin) / 2:00 P.M. BST (London) / 9:00 A.M. ET (New York, DC)

How did government strategies, practices, and instruments of integration policymaking adapt during the pandemic both in Europe and North America, and what lessons are there for the future?

The COVID-19 pandemic and its fallout triggered the perfect storm in migrant integration, with migrants and refugees experiencing disproportionate health and economic effects. It also upended the ability of policymakers and practitioners to respond in typical ways, given the halt to the delivery of in-person services and the forced shift online.

Marking the release of a MPI Europe report, this webinar examined how government strategies, practices, and instruments of integration policymaking adapted during the pandemic both in Europe and North America. How did policymakers ensure effective and agile responses in a context of COVID-induced disruption, and what can be learned to promote cost-effective integration policies moving forward?
