Seminar, Friday 25th July 10.30 - 16.30
Middlesex University, The Burroughs, Hendon
The Middlesex University Social Policy Research Centre is launching two recent comparative European research projects which explore aspects of the integration and inclusion of non-EU migrants. It will also discuss the broader conceptual and policy issues arising from these projects. Presentations will focus on both the UK situation and recent developments in the EU and include researchers from the projects at Middlesex University as well as external speakers.
The Research Projects
The MITI (Migrant Integration Territorial Index (UK, Italy (lead), France, Spain, Portugal) part of the EU's INTI programme, critically explored the meaning of integration and the EU agenda of measuring integration in order to develop policy targets. This project reviewed national and EU policy on integration and explored the possibilities of using existing data sets to measure integration.
Civic stratification, gender and family migration policies in Europe (UK, Austria, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Netherlands) examined how immigration legislation affected different kinds of family migrants and their responses to it. It was based on policy analysis and interviews with NGOs, policy makers, academics and individual family migrants.
