The EU-funded INTEGRIM project brought together a range of top European researchers to conduct a range of policy-relevant research on migration, integration and diversity management.
According to the latest United Nations (UN) figures, there are 214 million international migrants worldwide and another 740 million internal migrants. With increasing and ageing populations, environmental deterioration and increased globalisation all forecasted to continue through the decade, the migrant issue isn’t going away any time soon. As a result, international migration, already at the top of the EU’s political agenda, must be analysed from an integration perspective as the key factor for the future cohesion of European societies.
