identify and synthesize existing evidence from different sources and perspectives and disseminate it to audiences in an easily digestible format (Bielak et al., 2008). Therefore, according to Meyer (2010), knowledge brokering goes beyond simply disseminating or "moving" knowledge but also involves transforming it (Meyer, 2010, p.120). It is important to note, however, that knowledge brokering can look very different between different actors and spaces, as the needs, interests, and expectations of users can vary considerably (Meyer, 2010). Moreover, while the literature often focuses on the interface between science and policy (e.g., Gluckman et al., 2021), knowledge brokering can take place between a variety of actors, including practitioners, companies, the public, charities, engineers, and even countries (Meyer, 2010; Knight & Lyall, 2013). In the case of the EMN, the exchange of information oftentimes takes place between different practitioners (e.g., civil servants, lawyers, case workers, etc.) or between practitioners and policy actors. Therefore, knowledge brokering is not used exclusively in the sense of brokering at the science-policy interface. 1.3 Methodology The primary data for this research consists of 35 semi-structured interviews. Participants included members of the EMN National Contact Points and other EMN stakeholders (e.g., Steering Board members, policy actors, practitioners, experts, etc.), as well as participants in the Platform on Statelessness events or Forecasting Workshops. However, this report is mainly based on interviews conducted in relation to the EMN in general and the Platform on Statelessness. It should be noted that some participants were interviewed on the EMN in general, the Platform, and/or on forecasting, due to the overlapping responsibilities of NCPs and stakeholders working on many of the EMN's activities and thematic areas. Therefore, two NCP members participated in two interviews. In addition, some of the interviewees were former NCPs and are now EMN stakeholders (e.g., working as migration experts in agencies), so their positions overlap. The interviews were conducted in English (except one interview in German and one interview in Luxembourgish/French/English) between July 2024 and the end of December 2025. 10
