The GLIMER project, as a part of the ENSUF call between 2017-2020, has produced several reports, working papers and policy briefs. The four policy briefs focus on accomodation, gender dynamics, labour market and language respectively, while the reports and working papers cover several different topics. Five journal articles have been produced as well.
The aim of this project is to work towards innovative solutions that transform the migration crisis into an opportunity for European cities. Our goal is to generate theoretically informed but empirically grounded data that is able, through best practice sharing and reporting, to advise policy-makers and stakeholders on how workable solutions can be found to integrate displaced migrants and refugees. We will focus on medium sized cities in both Southern and Northern Europe and a key aspect of the project will be dedicated to investigating how the local governance of new arrivals can secure successful integration across a range of indicators.
