Mixed Migration in Europe
Quarterly Regional Updates
During the second quarter of 2025, MMC Europe launched 4Mi data collection in Spain, interviewing migrants who arrived in the country via the Atlantic route from West African countries to the Canary Islands, specifically covering the theme of smuggling dynamics across the Atlantic. During the quarter MMC Europe also presented preliminary findings of the PRIME project to scholars from several European universities and discussed data collected in 2024 in Brussels with local civil society and institutional actors. We also published a snapshot on the protection risks for Afghans and Syrians on the route towards Turkey and Greece. In the next quarter, MMC Europe will start collecting data on smuggling dynamics with recent arrivals in Italy. Other publications and analyses upcoming in the next quarter include on the impact of irregularity on labour market and rights access in Croatia, Greece, Italy and Spain, and mixed movement dynamics towards Spain.
