<\/div>[vc_column_text]On 25-26 September 2024, MPG connected officials leading the European Commission (EC)\u2019s work on migrant integration with civil society and academia representatives from across the 27 EU countries. This took place as part of the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual Editorial Meeting of the European Website on Integration (EWSI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MPG\u00a0has been working for\u00a0the European Website on Integration (EWSI)\u00a0<\/a>since 2007. The website is owned by the EC\u2019s Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs\u00a0(DG HOME) and is the\u00a0only EU-wide source bringing up-to-date information and good practices on migrant integration.\u00a0MPG coordinates a network of integration experts across the EU, and\u00a0leads on content and\u00a0website management\u00a0to\u00a0cater to\u00a0the evolving needs of integration stakeholders.<\/p>\n

For over a decade now, MPG has convened annual meetings allowing the EC to hear directly from integration experts from the EU27. This year\u2019s event included round table discussions about priority areas of integration, including education and training, housing, health and the role of local and regional authorities. These same topics are also embedded in the EC\u2019s Action plan on integration and inclusion 2021-2027 \u2013 the document guiding integration efforts across the EU over the current programming period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis website, unique in its scope in the EU, has been steadily growing in popularity among its readers. And we are also thrilled to see it being increasingly and strategically used by the European Commission in their important work on integration\u201d\u00a0said MPG\u2019s Director Isabelle Chopin opening the event.<\/p>\n

Indeed, over the past five year, website visits have scored annual hikes of 40 to 121%. Through EWSI, MPG and the network of experts also help fill in knowledge gaps for the EC policy makers, as well as for other integration stakeholders across the Union. Recent examples of publications tailored to the needs of the EC include an analysis on challenges and good practices in the areas of housing<\/a>, and\u00a0an analysis on bridging courses and qualification recognition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before the end of the year, EWSI will also launch a public tracker on the progress of the implementation of the EC\u2019s Action plan on integration and inclusion 2021-2027. Stay tuned and\u00a0subscribe to the EWSI newsletter<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text]
