The MPC at the European Commission’s POLITICALLY.EU event on ‘Europe and Migration Policies’ in Naples, 31 March 2014

The MPC is the scientific partner to the Italian Representation of the European Commission in the upcoming POLITICALLY.EU event on ‘Europe and Migration Policies’, which will take place on 31 March 2014 in Naples, Italy.
This ‘national debate’ will focus on three topics: Migration and Demographic Change; 

Opportunities in the Mediterranean; and Integration and Citizenship. 

It aims to provide an opportunity for discussion at the national level between those responsible for defining a global strategy, those in charge of implementing policy frameworks, experts in the various fields of interest, and representatives of migrants.
The conclusions gathered during the debate will be brought to the attention of the Italian Government and the EU in order to contribute to the definition of a new European agenda for Home Affairs and the development of a consistent Italian strategy.
