The OPPORTUNITIES project brings together migrants, citizens, and stakeholders at national, local, and regional levels across several African and European countries. Through cross-talks—a collaborative storytelling method—the project encourages mutual listening and the creation of shared migration narratives. Its central objective is to establish common ground for fair and inclusive dialogue that integrates African and European perspectives on migration and integration. The project engages civil society and policymakers to adopt and implement this fair-dialogue approach.

MIGNEX – Aligning Migration Management and the Migration–Development Nexus – was a five-year research project (2018–2023) aimed at generating new knowledge on migration, development, and policy. The project brought together researchers from nine institutions across Europe, Africa, and Asia. Its overarching objective was to contribute to more effective and coherent migration management by advancing evidence-based understanding of the complex linkages between development and migration.
