MPG’s work is financed through a combination of grants, project funding and contracts, awarded by a range of public and private bodies including charitable foundations, the European institutions, inter-governmental agencies, and national governments. - [Activities Report 2015 - 2016](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2016/07/08/2015-2016-activities-report/): Since 1995, MPG has acted as a leading independent ‘think-and-do tank’ resulting in lasting change at European, national and increasingly local level, notably. MPG’s highly engaged and multilingual team manages what is arguably the largest and most durable networks of civil society and experts on immigrant integration and anti-discrimination at national and local level in Europe. MPG applies the highest standards of research and stakeholder consultation to come up with innovative solutions and user-friendly tools. MPG has provided comparative evidence, tools, inspiration, dialogue and networks that policymakers and stakeholders have used extensively to create more ambitious and effective anti-discrimination laws, integration policies and legal immigration channels. At EU level, MPG’s work directly led to the adoption and implementation of anti-discrimination law on age, disability, race/ethnicity, religion/belief and sexual orientation (i.e. the 2000 Racial and Employment Equality Directives) and contributed greatly to the adoption and use of EU standards on integration. At national level, MPG’s work is directly responsible for the adoption and improvement of national anti-discrimination laws in all EU Member States and accession countries as well as the design of new policies and reforms in various areas, particularly in new and recent destinations in Central and Southern Europe. At local level, MPG’s tools and expertise are used by leading local actors to improve and open up their services to a diverse public. After 20 years in existence, 2015 was a turning point for MPG during these troubled times for European policymakers as its new leadership team developed new solutions to make integration and anti-discrimination a top priority. Our flagship initiatives—the European Equality Law Network, the European Website on Integration and the Migrant Integration Policy Index—allowed MPG to rapidly respond to new needs and policy debates. In addition, the Migration News Sheet – the best summary of European migration news since 1985 – was renewed in 2016, thanks to the support of UNHCR, IOM and its loyal subscribers. These projects provide the latest and best evidence on the development and effectiveness of legal migration, integration and anti-discrimination policies across all EU Member States and beyond. New initiatives were developed to grasp gaps in policy-oriented research and to move practitioners from discussion into action. In response to Europe’s refugee governance crisis, MPG launched its 6-year refugee integration evaluation tool in 16 EU Member States, led by the Polish Institute for Public Affairs (IPA) and two new MPG senior staff. This project has been extended the project to Turkey to provide the 1st-ever refugee integration monitoring in the country, in cooperation with IGAM, a strong new leader within Turkish civil society. Building on our pilot work on equality data, MPG and Human European Consultancy won and started the EC Equality Data Collection tender to gather data on the laws, availability and use of equality data on all discrimination grounds in all EU Member States, update the 2006 European Handbook on Equality Data and put forward recommendations to the EU on future actions. MPG also started an EU funded joint project on monitoring and combating hate speech, with the development of a specific application and training tools such as manuals and online courses. Moving from knowledge to action, MPG has started to work with a diversity of partners to develop innovative pilots on immigrant entrepreneurs (DELI), public procurement (BUYDIS) and the education of migrant and refugee pupils (SIRIUS). On 1 January 2016, after several years of preparation, MPG started to roll out promotional citizenship campaigns to get more EU and non-EU citizens to become politically active, voters and citizens in Belgium, Ireland and the United Kingdom. In mid-2016, SIRIUS received the necessary support to get on its way to become an independent legal entity with its own membership. MPG is solicited now more than ever as the Eurobarometer confirms that immigration has become the number one priority for the European public both at national and at EU level. MPG’s growing senior staff are regularly meeting with the European institutions, national government officials, foundations and EU/national NGOs. The increasing refugee arrivals and fears of radicalisation, terrorism and social mistrust are making governments and the public aware of the needs within their own societies and the inadequacies of their current policies to provide legal immigration channels, long-term integration investments for refugees and the 2nd generation and effective protections against discrimination both for immigrants and for other groups victimised by discrimination, hate and violence. This awareness has never been so widespread across all corners of Europe and so high on the political agenda. MPG’s evidence base and strategic advice have never been more relevant to promote policy reform and implementation at EU, national and local level. - [Activities Report 2017-2018](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2019/04/02/activities-report-2019-2020-2/) - [Activities Report 2019-2020](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2021/04/02/activities-report-2019-2020/) - [Activities Report 2021-2022](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2023/04/09/activities-report-2021-2022/) - [To name and address the underlying problem: Structural discrimination on the ground of racial or ethnic origin](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2022/12/13/to-name-and-address-the-underlying-problem-structural-discrimination-on-the-ground-of-racial-or-ethnic-origin/) - [A comparative analysis of non-discrimination law in Europe 2022](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2023/03/03/a-comparative-analysis-of-non-discrimination-law-in-europe-2022/): Summary The European network of legal experts in gender equality and non-discrimination has published the new Comparative analysis of non-discrimination law in Europe 2022, authored by MPG’s Isabelle Chopin and Catharina Germaine.

The country has been a polite host for several millions of people seeking asylum. Many of the Syrians, Iraqi, Iranians, Afghans or Somali arrived because they need international protection. Turkey, drawing on its past experiences, prepared to accommodate its guests temporarily.

Turkey has transformed over time into a potential new home for millions of people in need of protection, a perspective that seemed to be unimaginable before. Turkey is still at the beginning of this process of transformation and faced with many dilemmas. This Refugee Integration Evaluation Tool aims to provide evidence on the current state of legislation, policies and practice in diverse areas relevant for the integration of beneficiaries in Turkey.

The staying intentions of international students in five EU countries](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2012/07/08/mobile-talent-the-staying-intentions-of-international-students-in-five-eu-countries-english/): Why do some immigrants naturalize and others not? While much of the literature emphasizes the importance of country of origin features and individual characteristics, there is surprisingly little systematic research on the relation between citizenship policies in destination countries and citizenship take-up among immigrants. Most research in this field draws on data from single country cases and has limited comparative scope. In this paper we analyze citizenship take-up among first generation immigrants in 16 European countries. We apply an explicit cross-national perspective and argue that immigrant naturalization in Europe is determined not only by country of origin features and individual characteristics, but also by the opportunity structure set by the citizenship laws in the countries of origin and destination. We show that more accessible citizenship policies matter little for immigrants from highly developed countries, particularly those with fewer years of residence, but matter significantly for immigrants from less developed countries. As the composition of immigrant populations and citizenship policies across Europe vary significantly, this comparative design is ideally suited to testing the relative importance of factors related to country of origin, individual background and legal opportunity structure.

This article reads as follows: “Without prejudice to the other provisions of this treaty and within the limits of the powers that conferred by it upon the Community, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, may take appropriate action to combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation.” The introduction of a clause of this nature into the Treaty signifies an enormous step forward for all those fighting for the elimination of discrimination or for equality of treatment in various areas. It enables European institutions to take “necessary measures” in practice to combat certain types of discrimination. As such, when the European Court of Justice forbade the European Community to sign the European Convention on Human Rights in its own right, fighting discrimination merely became a matter of political goodwill. Although the struggle against discrimination is dealt with in Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, this article only protects pre-existing rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights and is limited in its application to circumstances where there is a breach or alleged breach of another right or liberty described in the Convention. - [Article 13: a new challenge for European institutions - French](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/1999/01/08/article-13-a-new-challenge-for-european-institutions-fr/): #N/A - [Guarding standards: shaping the agenda - German](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/1999/07/08/guarding-standards-shaping-the-agenda-de/): A leading independent, non-profit think tank founded in 1995, the Migration Policy Group has a long-standing commitment to effecting durable change in today’s societies.

It points to other legal instruments that could be adopted under the amended EC Treaty’s Title IV, and which would promote equality between EU nationals and third country nationals. It also draws attention to other legal and non-legal instruments to combat racial and ethnic discrimination, in particular those developed within the framework of the EU Employment Strategy and the EU Social Policy Agenda.The publication is the second in a series published jointly by the Commission for Racial Equality in Britain and the MPG. The series aims to promote a well-informed debate on anti-discrimination legislation in Europe and may serve as a tool to monitor and influence the process of transposing European standards into national law. The series also explores how the European anti-discrimination legislative agenda can be further developed. - [Borders and discrimination in the European Union](https://www.migpolgroup.com/index.php/2001/07/08/borders-and-discrimination-in-the-european-union/): A leading independent, non-profit think tank founded in 1995, the Migration Policy Group has a long-standing commitment to effecting durable change in today’s societies.
