This anniversary was an opportunity to look back on our shared achievements, take stock of persistent challenges, and reaffirm our commitment to building inclusive and equitable societies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"946\">Throughout the anniversary year, we created a dedicated space on our website to capture this collective reflection. The campaign brought together voices from across Europe and beyond &#8211; policymakers, funders, academics, civil society partners, as well as MPG\u2019s board and staff &#8211; who shared their perspectives through videos, essays, and testimonials.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"1308\">Together, these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.migpolgroup.com\/index.php\/2025\/12\/14\/mpg-30-years-impact-legacy-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contributions highlighted<\/a> how MPG\u2019s work has helped shape evidence-based policies, strengthen anti-discrimination frameworks, and connect research with real-world impact. They also pointed clearly to the future, underlining the continued need for courage, collaboration, and rights-based approaches in a changing political and social landscape.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1310\" data-end=\"1583\">Whether you have been part of MPG\u2019s journey for decades or discovered our work more recently, we thank you for being part of this community. As we move forward, the reflections gathered during our 30th anniversary continue to guide and inspire the next chapter of our work.<\/p>\n<p>See all contributions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li
