Leveraging insights from EU funded Research on Irregular Migration for Local Implementation in Cities

On the 16th April, we organised a joint C-MISE hybrid workshop with PICUM. The event “Leveraging insights from EU funded Research on Irregular Migration for Local Implementation in Cities” brought together representatives from 7 Horizon Europe research projects focused on irregular migration and C-MISE cities and partners.

The main objective behind bringing together city level policy makers and researchers are two folds. First, to highlight new insights arising from research and practice and bring them together; and second, to develop a common agenda, driven by research findings and city priorities, aiming to guide future EU and city level funding and policy making. 

The workshop’s more specific objectives are: 

• Bridge the gap between Horizon Europe funded research on irregular migration and actionable policies at the city level.
• Facilitate collaboration between researchers, policymakers and local authority stakeholders.
• Equip local authorities with evidence-based tools and strategies to address the challenges of irregular migration at the city level.
• Define key priorities for a city-driven research agenda, aligned with EU policy frameworks.
