Abstract
<jats:p>With the implementation of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, EU migration policy is entering a decisive new phase. Questions of effective implementation, mutual trust, return procedures, fundamental rights, cooperation with third countries, labour migration, integration, and digitalisation are central to current and future policy debates. The Studio Europa Maastricht–European Policy Centre Policy Brief Collection on New Perspectives on EU Migration brings together evidence-based and policy-relevant analysis by experts from Maastricht University, the European Policy Centre and beyond. The collection offers critical reflections and concrete recommendations for EU and national policymakers, while contributing to a stronger role for research and evidence in shaping the future of migration governance in Europe.</jats:p>
