The Jean Monnet Chair on Migration, Security and Intelligence in the European Union
Migration has become one of the most salient political issues in Europe in recent years. Eurobarometer surveys have repeatedly shown that, since 2015, immigration has been considered by the public to be by far the most important issue facing the EU and national governments.
Migration is also regularly at the heart of electoral campaigns across Europe, where anti-immigrant parties have overall been on the rise in recent years.
Against this background, this project has the following objectives:
to implement a range of teaching activities on asylum and migration, including their possible linkages with security and intelligence, complemented by various research and policy events;
to foster a dialogue between academic researchers and society through the production and dissemination of a wide range of materials on the EU asylum and migration policies, as well as the organisation of various events;
to generate knowledge and novel insights that can support EU policy-making and strengthen the role of the EU in a globalised world, especially in relation to asylum, migration, security, and intelligence matters;
to conduct active outreach and educational work, notably through the publication of materials on the EU asylum and migration policies in non-scientific formats, which will spread knowledge about EU subjects to wider society and will bring the EU closer to the public.
