The Bellagio Dialogue on Migration was a one-month program of workshops, fellowships, and cultural activities in June and July 2006 dedicated to addressing the challenges that international migration poses to the United States and Europe. By bringing together European and American policymakers, scholars, and community-based practitioners working on migration issues, the program seeked to identify and then share innovative solutions to economic, social, and security issues facing migrants and their host countries. It also looked at the opportunities for migration to contribute to economic development in high emigration countries. The Bellagio Dialogue on Migration was a project of the German Marshall Fund, with generous support from the Rockefeller Foundation, designed to advance and enrich the ongoing debate about migration in the United States and Europe.

Bellagio Dialogue on Migration Final Report
The Bellagio Dialogue explored wide-ranging and multifaceted issues associated with international migration in order to glean insights, share best-practices, and propose an agenda for future research. While each facet of migration was discussed by different groups of participants, it became clear that the division of immigration into the various issue areas was an artificial one and that real solutions would require a comprehensive approach.
