How do you think about the drivers of international migration?

If you are a migration researcher working in Africa or Europe, considering taking this (anonymous) survey on how we understand the drivers of international migration.

ℹ️ The survey is part of the DYNAMIG project dynamig.org
🔊 We’re looking for researchers working on migration at universities, research institutes, and think-tanks in Africa and Europe.

👉 We’re conducting a study to understand how researchers think about the drivers of international migration.

Really good piece on evidence based policy 'In an era of polarised discourse and policy pressure, the failure of well-funded research to influence decisions leaves space for anecdote, ideology, and misinformation to dominate. It undermines the very promise of evidence-based policymaking'.
🚨 Despite major investment in migration research, policy impact remains limited— ideology and misinformation can dominate.

📊 Based on 70+ interviews across 38 EU projects @eleonoramilazzo.bsky.social and me ask why research-policy collaboration is so hard to achieve.
