The European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmström, was in Florence on 25 June 2012 to attend the official opening of the Migration Policy Centre. Founded with the support of the European Union in January 2012, the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) conducts research on global migration issues which are relevant to European policies. The launch of the MPC was accompanied by a two-day event during which policymakers, researchers and civil society representatives discussed the role of immigration in post-crisis economies; the relationships between immigration and welfare, employment, and innovation; and the effects the Arab Spring may have had on EU policymaking on immigration. |
