The Mediterranean Migration and Asylum Policy Hub (MedMA) aspires to build bridges between knowledge production, field work and policy-making.
The mission of MedMA is to serve as a source of authoritative, fact-driven research, innovative policy making, and a platform for the exchange of ideas related to asylum and reception, legal migration, integration and pathways to citizenship.
MedMA espouses the ‘Mediterranean’ not as an epistemological category, but as an under-represented viewpoint and as a springboard for out-of-the-box, innovative thinking in terms of migration and asylum policy.
