The MPI-European University Institute research project identified ways in which European and U.S. immigration systems can be substantially improved to address major challenges policymakers confront on both sides of the Atlantic, in the context of the economic turmoil and in the longer term.

MPI Europe, in a research initiative that began in January 2014, is focusing on addressing the challenges confronting the EU asylum system and identifying practical ideas for the immediate and longer term to strengthen the Common European Asylum System consistent with the European Union’s interests, values, and obligations.
