Progressive Migration Group conference

In the current global context, migration is once again at the top of the European and national political agenda. However, short-term, simplistic and narrow policy responses will not only fail to address existing challenges but will likely exacerbate the consequences of mismanagement.

Considering the significance of migration as a policy issue in the new European legislative term, FEPS is continuing the crucial work of the Progressive Migration Group in cooperation with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES). 

Several online expert meetings in 2024 focused on the three key challenges, namely

• the implications of the EU Asylum reform for African countries,
• the shortage of labour migration and legal pathways,
• and the African perspectives on the complex interplay between EU migration and development policy on the continent. 

Building on the results of these online exchanges, the PMG will meet again after the summer break and will present the results of its findings in the course of a conference that will be held on 10 September.
