European cities integrating migrants

How best to implement migration and housing policies at the local level will be one of the main questions of an upcoming conference on April 7 in Brussels. The conference ‘European cities integrating migrants’ aims to debate on policies of local governance for integration and access to housing and on personnel policies of local authorities and available services for migrants. It will be organised around four round tables which will address these issues. The event will bring together European policy makers, mayors of several European cities, experts, national and regional representatives, civil society and social partners. The idea for the conference was initiated by CLIP European Network – Cities Local Integration Policies for Migrants, which is managed by the European Foundation and was launched in 2006. It consists of a network of nearly 30 European cities and five research institutes who are working together to promote the exchange of experience and provide support to local authorities and cities in Europe as regards concrete measures of local integration policy.
