 \nMigration has dominated political debates in Europe for over a decade—
 often driven more by fear than by facts. While arrivals have declined\, th
 e political sense of crisis persists. At the same time\, European economie
 s are actively seeking workers and talent across sectors.\nNow\, escalatin
 g conflict in the Middle East is triggering displacement and human sufferi
 ng. In Lebanon alone\, more than 1.2 million people have been displaced as
  of March 2026. Predictably\, warnings of new movements toward Europe are 
 already shaping the political narrative.\nAre we once again heading into a
  reactive cycle of alarm and short-term measures? Or is this the moment to
  confront uncomfortable truths: that displacement will remain a defining f
 eature of our time\, and that Europe’s migration policies remain fragmen
 ted\, inconsistent\, and often at odds with its own economic and humanitar
 ian interests? What would it take to move beyond crisis politics—towards
  a migration system that is realistic\, humane\, and fit for the future? H
 ow can responsibility be shared more fairly across regions? And what concr
 ete pathways could better align protection\, stability\, and opportunity?\
 nJoin us for a candid conversation on the politics\, realities\, and futur
 es of migration in a rapidly changing world. \n*Note - Gerald Knaus has h
 ad a last minute change of schedule and needs to be in Kyiv tonight for im
 portant meetings about Ukraine's EU membership with the EU decision makers
 . We are thrilled to welcome his extremely qualified UK-based colleague Jo
 hn Dalhuisen to Munich in his stead and look forward to his expertise base
 d on years of on-the-ground experience.\nJohn Dalhuisen is a Senior Fellow
  at the European Stability Initiative\, a Berlin based think tank\, where 
 he focuses on European migration policy\, human rights\, the rule of law a
 nd international conflict management. He is also an adjunct faculty member
  at the Hertie School. He was Director of Amnesty International’s Europe
  and Central Asia Programme\, then Regional Office\, from 2012 to 2017.  
 He joined Amnesty International in 2007 as a researcher on discrimination 
 in Europe\, becoming Deputy Director in 2010 covering the former Soviet Un
 ion.  Between 2001 and 2006\, he was Special Adviser to the first Council
  of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights. He was called to the Bar of Engl
 and and Wales in 2007 and studied Philosophy at Edinburgh University and t
 he Humboldt University\, Berlin.\nRaphaela Schweiger is a Director at the 
 Robert Bosch Stiftung\, one of Europe’s largest philanthropies. She lead
 s the foundation’s work on Migration\, as well as its portfolio on Inter
 national Cooperation. In these roles\, she drives initiatives on humane mi
 gration governance\, climate mobility\, and the future of protection syste
 ms. Her work connects issues of global governance\, technology\, and socia
 l cohesion\, with a strong focus on the local level and on building bridge
 s between communities and policy arenas. From 2021 to 2025\, she chaired t
 he European Philanthropic Initiative on Migration (EPIM)\, Europe’s larg
 est philanthropic collaborative on migration. A Yale World Fellow\, Chair
