Project objectives:

​

The project aimed to fill an ‘empirical void’ on research concerning integration needs of immigrants in western Poland. The project focused on integration of citizens of so-called third country nationals, i.e. individuals from outside the European Union, who have come to Poznan. The research investigated their integration in three spheres: the labor market, healthcare, and education. The project provided practical recommendations for representatives of various public administration offices and non-governmental organizations assisting migrants; migration scholars; and migrants themselves.
