Description of the research topic:

The project comparatively assesses the effectiveness of integration policies and practices in major migrant-receiving spaces, in local communities, ranging from urban spaces to rural areas. This should include migrants’ access to civic and social rights, social services and facilities (e.g. language tuition and healthcare) in accordance with their legal status, as well as intercultural interaction (including gender aspects) and adaptation to increased diversity of the population. The project is focussing on social cohesion and societal fragmentation, and how these aspects are accounted for in migrant integration policies.
The urban and rural governance of integration processes shall be analysed against the backdrop of a broader multi-level governance framework, whereby potential and real tensions between the local and other levels of governments will be explored. Attitudes to migration and integration by both migrants and the host communities will be studied as well. The role of religious communities could also be examined in relation to outcomes of integration processes.
The project is carried out by research communities from 9 European countries including Hungary. The cross-national comparative research will be carried out between 2021 and 2125.
There are 9 participant countries in the project, and the cross-national comparative research will be carried out between 2021 and 2025.
