Is a Mediterranean migration and asylum policy possible?
Who we are
Mission
Why "Mediterranean"
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.
A Mediterranean Perspective on Current Migration Governance- Joint Policy Paper by MedMA & STG
As debates on migration governance intensify across the Mediterranean, the Mediterranean Migration and Asylum Policy Hub (MedMA) publishes a joint policy paper, drafted in collaboration with the Florence School of Transnational Governance (STG) of the European University Institute (EUI). The paper builds on the High-Level Policy Dialogue held on 22 May 2025 at the EUI in Florence, co-organised by MedMA and the STG. The dialogue brought together policymakers, practitioners and researchers to examine the current configuration of migration governance in the Mediterranean and its likely trajectories in light of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum and related regional initiatives.
