The 2025 edition, Decen­te­ring Migra­tion Studies, comprises two compo­nents : a scien­tific programme reserved for regis­tered resear­chers, and a public programme open to all with a forum of asso­cia­tions and side events, inclu­ding an insti­tu­tional round­table discus­sion on research and policy making.

Insti­tu­tional round­table : « Research and policy making on migra­tion : an impos­sible dialogue ? »

Wednesday 2 July 2025
From 4.50 pm to 6.20 pm
Audi­to­rium 150, Centre des Colloques

Migra­tion is an increa­singly salient issue in Europe. As a result, immi­gra­tion poli­cies are under­going constant evolu­tions, with major deve­lop­ments at both national and EU levels – and so too is research on migra­tion, with increased funding, publi­ca­tions and insti­tu­tio­na­li­sa­tion. Even though there is a certain consensus on the need for evidence-based and research-informed migra­tion poli­cies, acade­mics’ work remains largely absent from public debates and is rarely consi­dered by govern­ments and poli­cy­ma­kers. Obstacles to the research-policy dialogue are nume­rous : an extre­mely poli­ti­cized context tends to make rational exchanges diffi­cult, while the specia­li­za­tion and frag­men­ta­tion of migra­tion research does not faci­li­tate its influence outside academic circles. This round­table will discuss these issues with an inter­na­tional lens, by brin­ging toge­ther resear­chers, poli­cy­ma­kers and think tanks.
