MIGNEX – Aligning Migration Management and the Migration–Development Nexus – is a five-year research project (2018–2023) with the core ambition of creating new knowledge on migration, development and policy. It involves researchers at nine institutions in Europe, Africa and Asia. UNU-MERIT/ Maastricht University is one of the nine project partners.

In April, MIGNEX convened a major Policy Conference on future EU migration and development policy, in partnership with ODI. See below for a brief summary of their discussions on longstanding and emerging EU policy agendas.

The MIGNEX policy conference gathered 120 experts from diverse sectors across and beyond Europe, including the EU Directorate-Generals, the EU Parliament, the Commission, Member State and Partner Country Ministries, Embassies, civil society, academia and media.

Insight from the policy conference and the recordings of the keynote speakers can be viewed here.
