Main author and Central Research Coordinator of the MIPEX, Thomas Huddleston, will present
the Migrant Integration Policy Index to the European University Institute's Migration Working Group.
A multidisciplinary group of EUI faculty, fellows, and researchers, directed by Professor Rainer Baubock, will discuss how to assess, compare, and improve policy through MIPEX...
The group will also discuss the forthcoming Language Rich Europe on multilingualism, led by the British Council and involving MPG.
During each Migration Working Group meeting a discussant kicks off the debate. Authors benefit from competent feedback before finalising papers for publication and participants broaden their knowledge by engaging in a conversation across academic disciplines.
