"Rethinking migration policies: for an IPCC on migration and asylum", an opinion editorial signed by Virginie Guiraudon, Camille Schmoll and Hélène Thiollet on Sciences Po's website

In the context of the European Council held on June 28th 2018, three French researchers, Virginie Guiraudon (CNRS/Sciences Po) Hélène Thiollet (CNRS/Sciences Po) and Camille Schmoll (Paris 7/ Institut universitaire de France) launched a call to create a Panel of International Experts on Migration (IEPM or GIEM in French), following the experience of the IPCC. 

The call was signed by more than 600 people all over Europe, and beyond : https://www.giema.eu

The Institut Convergences Migrations (IC Migrations), the Chaire Migrations et Sociétés du Collège de France, the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies (LIEPP) from Sciences Po and the Université Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC) support the initiative. They jointly organize the first meeting on December 10, 2018.

High level European researchers will discuss how they view the missing link between research and migration policy. This meeting will also give the floor to the room.
