Projects on Labour Migration and Mobility
Since 2018, MPF labour migration and mobility projects establish ideal conditions for scalable and sustainable legal migration pathways through robust international partnerships.
Funded through the European Union’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, past projects have helped to identify gaps in skills and educational recognition, misalignments in training curricula, missing competencies in national public administrations, and policy incoherence.
Since 2022, new projects have allowed for match-testing between EU Member States and partner countries, laying the groundwork for potential long-term labour mobility schemes in aligned to the EU Talent Partnerships, described in the EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum. You can find out more about each project, which European member states and partner countries are involved and the planned activities through the interactive map below.
Community of Practice
MPF hosts the EU-wide Labour Migration Practitioner’s Network that counts over 220 active members. The Network is platform to promote deeper, more insightful and sustained engagement on labour migration and mobility by a set group of experts and practitioners. Whether by hosting member-only events or publishing studies, the Network has built an ecosystem where the exchange of ideas, lessons learned, and research findings between practitioners, researchers and policymakers thrives.

Knowledge and resources
MPF promotes a learning environment and aims to increase the knowledge base on all thematic areas covered. For this, the programme gathers lessons learned from projects and commissions research to analyse important developments in Europe and beyond.
Given the importance of the labour migration and mobility portfolio, MPF has commissioned a vast library of resources, from practical guides to policy briefs to in-depth research studies that bridge the gap between research, practice, and policy.
