Ukrainian Diaspora Integration

The project – in 2024/25 it is planned to establish a network involving academics, policymakers, and the business community in Europe, with active participation from Ukrainian displaced people.

By fostering regular meetings, data sharing, and collaborative initiatives, we aim to tackle integration gaps, facilitate knowledge exchange, and formulate sustainable strategies. Our efforts to learn and share best practices are grounded in the ambition to sustainably support Ukrainians displaced by the ongoing Russian invasion. Our project distinguishes itself through collaborative dialogue, direct refugee involvement, and a multi-stakeholder approach to addressing refugee concerns.

As part of the network, both online and offline events will be organized, providing a platform for stakeholders to exchange insights, address challenges, and propose solutions. Each time we will focus on a different country, a different part of integration.  The outcomes of these collaborative efforts will be documented in reports and briefs, offering a valuable resource for ongoing initiatives and future policymaking.
