The objective of this meeting is to discuss how policymakers and actors involved in policymaking in the area of international migration make sense and use science in their daily routines. We want to shed light on science information and communication habits by different actors involved in policymaking and are interested in institutional strategies for improving evidence-informed policymaking.
