Eduardo Acostamadiedo is a PhD candidate at Potsdam University. He worked previously at the International Organization for Migration´s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC). His research focuses on assessing aspirations to migrate and intentions to migrate without the necessary documents with survey data and list experiments. Previously, Eduardo has researched the future of immigration to the European Union in 2030 through Delphi surveys and future scenarios, and compared the main approaches that attempt to predict future migration. He has analysed the degree to which aspirations to migrate from Africa to the European Union materialise. He has also examined attitudes towards migrants within Africa. He completed a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá and a Master in Public Policy from Hertie School of Governance in Berlin.

Description
There is increasing policy interest in the European Union to better plan and prepare for future migration flows. This is reflected in the growing number of reports that use expert knowledge to anticipate migration trends and develop migration scenarios. In this report, the IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), in partnership with the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI), examines the potential and limitations of using expert opinion to predict future migration. This pilot study combines two approaches, namely, migration scenarios and Delphi expert surveys, to assess the implications and uncertainty of immigration scenarios for the European Union in 2030. The results demonstrate the high level of uncertainty and disagreement among experts about how basic drivers of migration – such as multilateralism and economic convergence – might shape future immigration to the European Union. While expert advice is useful for stimulating strategic, long-term thinking and discussion, the results highlight the limitations of using experts to improve operational preparedness.
