What are the effects of migration on European countries and cities? Read more about migration scenarios and their demographic impacts for the EU member states here: mailchi.mp/72e3b13e8837/m…

How can we understand the multifaceted drivers of migration? A recently published FUME report series offers a deep dive into the drivers and trajectories of migration from four distinct case studies: Senegal, Ukraine, Tunisia and Iraq: mailchi.mp/0d384602d4a0/u…

Last week, our final conference gathered academics, practitioners and policymakers to address pressing questions about migration projections and their impact on evidence-based policy development. Thanks for joining! Nordregio HumMingBird Project QuantMig H2020 Project Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK IIASA

Nora Sanchez Gassen: We can see the mismatch - what society needs versus what migrants can provide - and how to bridge the gap. As researchers we need to focus on what actually works and spread knowledge that is usable for the people working on-the-ground with migration.

Timothy Heleniak: Politicians need more short-term predictions. While we can’t predict the next war, we can help show them the unintended consequences of different migration policies as they are developing right now. Read the FUME policy brief here: futuremigration.eu/fume-publicati…

Tom Devriendt: How long do we associate the arrival of migrants as a crisis? Major decisions by migration policy makers are being made while feeling the breath of far-right politicians on their necks. Being in constant crisis-mode does not create the solidarity needed.

🔹Round Table 2: From migration models & scenarios to policy decisions

🗣️Stefano Iacus: Academia is battling with data scarcity & disorganization. A framework is crucial to provide researchers with data & indicators, allowing for the production of relevant & timely information

Damien Jusselme IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳: Data we got on Ukraine was made available quickly and made it easier for us to respond - programming and budgeting in real time. So we’re very interested in the nowcasting Future Migration Scenarios for Europe is doing.

🗣️Integrating social media can aid our research across diverse populations
However, we must be mindful of accessibility changes & privacy concerns

⚖️Balancing on individual & group #privacy while gathering meaningful #data is challenging but crucial for understanding #migration

Magnus Ovilius: Who is looking into how many migrants Europe can actually sustain? We are extremely interested in tools that bring all the research bits and pieces together and connect core indicators to today’s context - that’s forecasting. EU Home Affairs

🌍Drought is one of the most fundamental issues that affects migration

📊We can't afford to wait 30, 40, or 50 years to find solutions 🔍

📈To address this issue, we must take into account the global food index for modelling & make decisions that will impact the next few years

Francesco Luciani: Policy implementers are often too late. We need to capture scenarios in real time, and we need more than quantitative numbers. Migrants act rationally but can be hindered by biased information. We should understand the reasoning behind migration.

Potenziali e implicazioni delle proiezioni sui futuri scenari migratori nell'elaborazione di politiche migratorie a livello europeo, nazionale e locale: Stefano Degli Uberti e Frank Heins sono al Parlamento Europeo per discuterne nell'ambito del progetto Future Migration Scenarios for Europe.

☀️Welcome to the 2nd day of our conference on migration policies in the European Parliament

🗣️A warm welcome from Malin Björk, MEP, Hans Schoemaker Deputy Head Of Division at European External Action Service & Magnus Ovilius Head of Sector Forecasting, Preparedness & Policy Monitoring

Magnus Ovilius: To be proactive in this field we need early warnings, forecasting, predictability – so we can create better systems. Many EU bodies and institutions have migration interests, but if we all have different numbers and facts, then we can’t work together properly.

Hans Schoemaker, Deputy Head Of Division at European External Action Service: Crisis response to migration will not lead us to long term solutions. Migration offers numerous benefits. Your research work is important as the public tends to lean on their biases in uncertain times.
