Migration is an increasingly salient issue in Europe. As a result, immigration policies are undergoing constant evolutions, with major developments at both national and EU levels – and so too is research on migration, with increased funding, publications and institutionalisation. Even though there is a certain consensus on the need for evidence-based and research-informed migration policies, academics’ work remains largely absent from public debates and is rarely considered by governments and policymakers. Obstacles to the research-policy dialogue are numerous: an extremely politicized context tends to make rational exchanges difficult, while the specialization and fragmentation of migration research does not facilitate its influence outside academic circles. This roundtable will discuss these issues with an international lens, by bringing together researchers, policymakers and think tanks.
