While views differ between and within countries, most Europeans hold moderate, nuanced positions on immigration, distinguishing between types of it rather than adopting simple pro- or anti-immigration stances.

This is one of the main findings drawn from the study conducted by Andrew Geddes and James Dennison, which is based on large amounts of high-quality survey data spanning decades, countries, and crises, and combining insights from political science, psychology, sociology, and public policy.

🌍 How is migration communicated across Europe?
Migration communication campaigns happen across countries and contexts, but how much do we know about them collectively?

Our Migration Communication Campaigns Database brings together 350+ campaigns from across Europe in one open-access resource.

👉It is designed to help researchers, policymakers, practitioners, journalists, and communication professionals explore what has been done, identify patterns and learn from previous campaigns.

And the database is growing!❗We are now looking for experts with knowledge of specific countries to help us identify campaigns that may not yet be included. Do you know of a campaign that should be on the map? Tell us!

🔴Everyone who contributes at least three suggestions will be acknowledged on the project website.

Contributions are open until 5 September 📩 https://loom.ly/2S7W-tM

🇵🇱 Poland has rapidly transitioned into a country of net immigration. But its migration governance has not kept pace.

The arrival of refugees following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine accelerated Poland’s transformation into a major destination country. Yet significant gaps remain in the country’s migration institutional framework.

One of the consequences? 👉 Migrants with regular residence status can still find themselves pushed into informal employment.

In this policy brief, Katarzyna Porwit and Agata Górny examine how bureaucratic bottlenecks and over-reliance on intermediary employment agencies contribute to this situation.

They show that irregularity in is rarely about unauthorised border crossings. Instead, it often takes the form of 'façade regularity' and semi-regularity, where migrants hold formal residence documents but work in violation of the conditions attached to their permits.

They also put forward immediate and long-term policy interventions to address these challenges.

Just released 🚨 New episode of In the Room ➡️ Andrew Selee on his dinner with Hillary Clinton and the one idea that stuck.

Eleonora Milazzo speaks with Andrew Selee, President of the Migration Policy Institute, to explore how evidence can shape policy when it's communicated in the right way.

Andrew takes us inside an extraordinary room: a dinner with Hillary Clinton, who was at the time the newly appointed US Secretary of State, where he helped reframe the conversation on organised crime from one of "helping Mexico" to one of "shared responsibility".

But the episode is about much more than that meeting. Andrew explains why policy impact starts long before policymakers enter the room or researchers reach their conclusions. He also reflects on the current US political landscape and what it means for evidence-informed policymaking.

🎧 Listen here and stay until the end to hear how he resets after a meeting: https://loom.ly/zajkiiw
