Event details
To inform opinion ahead of the forthcoming EU referendum, CPC will be hosting a public panel debate to discuss the wider issues around recent CPC research on EU migrants living in the UK, migrants' attitudes to the forthcoming referendum, and resulting social policy implications. These events form part of the Economic and Social Research Council's 'The UK in a changing Europe' initiative, which aims to provide an independent source of information and insight about UK-EU relations ahead of the EU referendum. The events are organised in collaboration with Population Europe, the network of Europe's leading demographic research centres.
