INTRODUCTION
Labour migration and mobility are, and will continue to be, key dynamics in the Euro-Mediterraneanregion. They are central to the social, economic and political development of the region. As a directresult, they are also key components of relations between the European Union, EU member states andcountries in the Middle East and North Africa.
This event, co-organised by the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) at the European University Institute(EUI) and the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), will provide an opportunity to debate the future oflabour migration and mobility in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
The main issue that will be discussed is the role of human mobility for development on both sides ofthe Mediterranean. More specifically, the focus will be: Europe with or without migration; socio-demographic change in the Euro-Mediterranean region; the political dynamics of migration andmobility; the contributions of migration and its wider social, economic and political effects.
Each panel presentation will last for a maximum of 10 minutes to allow sufficient time for thediscussion. The event is designed to be a public debate rather than a series of presentations.
