Research project:

SIRIUS: Skills and Integration of Migrants, Refugees and Asylum Applicants in European Labour Markets [access]
- "Despite the polarisation in public and policy debates generated by the post-2014 influx of refugees, asylum applicants and migrants, European countries need to work out an evidence-based way to deal with migration and asylum rather than a prejudice-based one. The project, SIRIUS, builds on a multi-dimensional conceptual framework in which host country or political-institutional, societal and individual-related conditions function either as enablers or as barriers to migrants’, refugees’ and asylum seekers’ integration via the labour market." The partner countries are Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
