The Migrant Integration Policy Index  (MIPEX) is the collective work of a multinational team  whose centre is in Brussels (http://mipex.eu/). MIPEX has been collecting and analyzing migration policy data on 38 countries including Turkey. The data and analysis for each country is presented  every year to the international public, and is a source of important reference for migration experts.

As far as Turkey is concerned, İstanbul Bilgi University’s European Institute and Kemerburgaz University became the official partners of MIPEX for Turkey in 2013 and collected contributions  from a wide ranging group of experts about the migration and integration laws and their implementation.
