Kairos Blueprint Policy Lab
Open-access research and policy tools for the Africa-Europe future, starting with EU-AU migration governance.
The first arm going live
Research for the gap between policy design and lived experience
The Policy Lab is the research arm of Kairos Blueprint. It works where African and European policy agendas meet: migration, youth, and development cooperation.
Everything it produces is published openly. The first analysis is in preparation; until it is released, the library lists only what exists.
Focus areas
Questions we work on
- Migration governanceEU-AU frameworks, return and readmission cooperation, and how agreements are implemented in practice.
- Youth engagementHow young people take part in, and are affected by, Africa-Europe policy.
- Development policyWhere development cooperation meets mobility, skills, and opportunity.
- EU-Africa relationsThe partnership agenda, read from both continents.

Propose a collaborationAdvisory conversation
We are open to discussing policy questions with institutions. As a new organisation we take on work selectively and say plainly what we can and cannot deliver.
