The convening partners have produced three background reports about migration and refugee policy in Europe.

• Understanding the drivers of migration to Europe: lessons from Afghanistan for the current refugee crisis
• From fragmentation to integration: towards a “whole-of-society” approach to receiving and settling newcomers in Europe
