Webinar and sneak preview of the Resilient Regions Policy Dashboard
27 January 2026, 13:00-14:30 CET, Online

How do you find policy solutions that match changing migration trends?

Europe’s regions are adapting to rapid demographic change and policy must adapt with them. While migration patterns shape labour markets and communities, policymakers often lack clear, comparable evidence to act on…

…This is where the Resilient Regions Policy Dashboard comes in.

During this webinar we will live-demo a tool that connects struggling regions with concrete policy suggestions and similar regions to learn from. The dashboard turns local migration and development data into a diagnosis of how a region is doing presently and in the future. It also gives users access to relevant migration patterns and even a database of migrant quotes about what motivates people to move or stay in a region.

We will also hear from a panel of regional attraction experts. They will share their experiences on how to use data to better shape strategies that either attract newcomers or keep residents happy where they are.

Who should join

This webinar should interest policymakers, planners, analysts and practitioners working with population change, territorial attractiveness or regional development. It is also a great opportunity for those planning to attend the March conference, where the final version of the Dashboard will be launched.

Participants can expect to:

The complete and finalised Dashboard will be released on 10 March at the European Committee of the Regions in Brussels.

About the project

PREMIUM_EU is a three-year Horizon Europe research project that examines how mobility affects regional development and how policies can turn migration into an opportunity rather than a challenge. The project brings together ten partners across Europe, connecting cutting-edge data with insights from regional case studies to help regions counter brain drain and build long-term resilience.
