Description

This parallel session, made up of panellists seletected by the IFMS Scientific Commitee, will highlight three major projects: the European Union Agency for Asylum’s (EUAA) Survey of Arriving Migrants from Ukraine (SAM-UKR), which tracks the socio-economic profiles, barriers to employment, and future intentions of displaced people across EU countries; the Federal Institute for Population Research’s (BiB) register-based study of Ukrainian refugees in Germany, which examines their socio-economic integration, including social bonding, health, language acquisition, and labour market access; and IMPACT’s Longitudinal Study of Ukrainian Refugees and Returnees which has monitored Ukrainian refugees in Europe using a longitudinal approach with multi-sectoral coverage. These projects emphasize the importance of real-time, large-scale data collection and the use of innovative sampling methods to support evidence-based decision-making and promote the integration of refugees.
