New European Website on Integration
A new EU-wide platform, called Unisys, for networking on integration through exchange about policy and practice, will be launched this year. The project was initiated by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Justice, Freedom and Security and will be developed in partnership with the Migration Policy Group, Social Change Online and Eurocities. The website will contain a broad range of information and documents relevant to immigrant integration such as official EU information, national legislations, policy papers and impact assessments from Member States, documents from civil society organisations and research centres, case studies of integration practices, information on funding opportunities for integration practitioners, country information sheets and an events calendar.
In February the project team was engaged in a process of consulting with stakeholders in order to find out how they can contribute relevant content to the website. Interested organisations are welcome to submit reports, policy papers and evaluations on diversity issues to the project team. Furthermore there is also the possibility to publish case studies of integration practices, which are considered as a ‘best practice’ in the integration of immigrants, on the website.
