About MPG
Migration Policy Group is an independent think-and-do tank based in Brussels. MPG’s purpose is rooted in its ability to inspire networks to provide evidence-based projects, research and campaigns in the areas of integration, migration and anti-discrimination.
Our Mission
Employing a multi–dimensional methodology, MPG connects people to the best facts, comparative analysis, training, pilots and advice, so that policy and law makers, and stakeholders can improve their legislation, policies and practices. We articulate this mission through four primary activities:
- Gathering, analyzing and sharing information
- Creating opportunities for dialogue and mutual learning
- Engaging stakeholders in policy debate
- Establishing, inspiring and managing expert networks.
