I am one of co founders with Camille Schmoll and Virginie Guiraudon (on the picture at the Collège de France in Dec. 2018) of an initiative launched in 2018 to create an International Panel on Migration, modelled partly after the IPCC. Our initiative gathered over 700 migration scholars and scientists.
The IPM has been supported by the Bosch Foundation, the Fondation de la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and the Institut Convergence Migration.

I am one a board members of Desinfox Migrations a French civil society organisation created in 2018 by Mélodie Beaujeu. Desinfox Migrations fights against misinformation to contribute to a better-informed public debate on migration and integration, at a time when the manipulation of migration facts is a major issue in democracies, especially in Europe.
