About MPG
The 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
MPG is an independent non-profit organization that uses the strength of our innovative research and networks to advance evidence-based policies on migration, integration and anti-discrimination. We support creating diverse societies that invest in their future.
MPG employs a multi-dimensional methodology to connect people and communicate the best facts, comparative analysis, trainings, pilot projects and advice to enable stakeholders to improve legislation, policies and practices.
We articulate this mission through four primary activities:
- Gathering, analysing and sharing information
- Creating opportunities for dialogue and mutual learning
- Engaging stakeholders in policy debate
- Establishing, inspiring and managing expert networks
