Mission & Goals
The Migration Policy Group is an independent Brussels-based think-and-do tank. We conduct evidence-based projects, research and campaigns in the areas of integration, migration and anti-discrimination. MPG is an independent non-profit organisation that uses the strength of its innovative research and networks to advance evidence-based migration, integration and anti-discrimination policies. We support creating diverse societies that invest in their future. MPG employs a multi-dimensional methodology to connect people and provide facts, comparative analysis, training, 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
