The European Migration and Diversity (EMD) Programme provides independent expertise on European migration and asylum policies. The EMD Programme's analyses seek to contribute to sustainable and responsible policy solutions and are aimed at promoting a positive and constructive dialogue on migration and mobility. The Programme follows the policy debate and conducts analysis taking a multidisciplinary approach, examining both the legal and political aspects shaping European migration policies. EMD analysts focus, amongst other topics, on the reform of the Common European Asylum System; the management of the EU’s external borders and the Schengen governance; cooperation with countries of origin and transit; the integration of beneficiaries of international protection and mobile persons into host societies; the links between migration and populism; the development of resettlement and legal pathways; and the EU''s free movement acquis. The EMD team benefits from a strong network of academics, NGO representatives and policymakers, who contribute regularly to publications and policy events.
