Integration policies can coexist with policies of voluntary return: Türkiye is a good example. Thank you @barcinyinanc for covering the 8 point increase of Türkiye in @migpolgroup’s @_MIPEX (Migrant Integration Policy Index) @gokayozerim @AyhanKaya14 @fulyamemisoglu @GulcinSinav
This spring marks the 15th year since the arrival of Syrians fleeing civil war in their country.
Turkey is catching up with European standards in terms of the legal framework, according to a recent MIPEX report.

We are delighted to feature insights from Dr Başak Yavçan, Head of Research at the Migration Policy Group (Belgium), and Dr Eszter Kovács, Assistant Professor and Head of Unit at Semmelweis University (Hungary) and President of EHMA, who will both speak at the CARE Summit 2025 session:
🩺 Crisis Preparedness and Cross-Border Cooperation
📅 3 December 2025
📍 Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place
This session will examine how the EU can strengthen its preparedness for transnational health threats through deeper cooperation, harmonised strategies, and resilient health systems. Discussions will address lessons from COVID-19, resource-sharing, stockpiling and supply chain security, and the evolving roles of the ECDC, EMA, and HERA in building a coordinated European response.
Dr Yavçan and Dr Kovács will share their perspectives on how collaboration, trust, and solidarity across borders can turn crisis lessons into lasting reform — ensuring that Europe is ready for the health challenges of tomorrow. 💬🌍
