30 years of MPG

MPG 30th Anniversary – Celebrating Three Decades of Impact

In 2025, MPG proudly marks 30 years of pioneering research, advocacy, and action in migration, integration, and non-discrimination. This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on our collective achievements, acknowledge ongoing challenges, and reaffirm our commitment to building inclusive and equitable societies. To commemorate this journey, we are launching a dedicated 30th Anniversary web page –  a dynamic space for reflection, inspiration, and dialogue.

Throughout the year, we will feature insights from policymakers, funders, academics, civil society organisations, and our dedicated board and staff. Through videos, essays, and testimonials, we invite you to engage with the voices that have shaped our work and to help envision the future of migration and inclusion in Europe.

Whether you have been part of MPG’s journey from the start or are discovering us for the first time, we welcome you to join us in celebrating 30 years of impact – and in shaping the road ahead.
