Description

This parallel session, made up of panellists selected by the IFMS Scientific Committee, explores the dynamics of refugee hosting, receiving, and integration in Europe. The session will shed light on topics such as the role of reception centres in asylum-seekers’ experiences, how longitudinal findings offer insights into the integration progress of refugees over time, and the importance of social integration practices upon arrival in a new country. Together, these presentations will provide evidence-based perspectives on migration policies, reception practices, and integration pathways in Europe.
