PACES Scenario Workshop

On 19-21 November 2025, the PACES project hosted a Scenario Workshop titled ‘Exploring Future Migrations Between Africa and Europe’ in The Hague. It brought together researchers, policymakers, business representatives, civil-society actors, and migrants living in Europe. The workshop activities involved in-depth discussions of several important factors that could significantly shape our future and alter migration, such as resource constraints, including water-based conflicts, the future of work and AI, human rights, development aid, geopolitical alliances, the future of the EU and of governance in African countries.  The insights and materials generated during the workshop will feed into a forthcoming report, which will offer new perspectives on long-term migration trends and on how individual and policy decisions interact in shaping mobility.
