Benchmarking integration governance in European cities

The Migration Policy Group will develop together with Eurocities and Ethics etc… an innovative method for best practice identification among selected European cities with a comprehensive dissemination and dialogue strategy that will reach out to the wider European integration community. The project “INTI-Cities: Benchmarking Integration Governance in European Cities” focuses on benchmarking successful integration governance structures in European cities and promoting an innovative model for integration governance that is based on creating links between different actors at local, national and European levels. Benchmarking will be achieved by piloting a peer review approach which will go beyond a simple good practice collection to deliver expert-validated comparative knowledge on integration practices in European cities as well as on the necessary supportive policy environments at local, national, and European levels. The results and lessons of the peer reviews will feed into a report with practical guidance on innovative integration governance.
