The H2020 SO-CLOSE project, coordinated by the UAB, together with nine other research initiatives funded by the European Union (EU), is organizing a joint policy roundtable on migration and migrants in the EU. The event will bring together researchers, professionals, journalists and policy makers to discuss the potential for reinterpreting existing narratives, presenting good practices resulting from ongoing projects, and informing political decision-making processes.

The inclusion of migrants in Europe has not been a uniform process and has highlighted several obstacles to making the inclusion of people on the move efficient, humane and dignified. This round table aims to share with high-level decision-makers in the European Union the preliminary conclusions of the ten participating projects on legal protection of refugees and migrants, on the impact (economic, cultural, political) of their presence in local, regional or European groups and constituencies, on innovative solutions to improve cohesion and on the role of domestic actors.

The event, entitled "Co-designing an inclusive Europe - Migrations and migrants in the EU", will take place on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at the Norwegian House of Research and Innovation, Rue Guimaard 9, Brussels. It is also possible to attend the event online registering until Sunday 27 February at https://bit.ly/3p9rTrN
