Co-operation in research
The task
Borrowing from the core tasks of the Federal Office in the field of migration and integration, the research group analyses issues related to migration and integration in a scientific manner.
To perform its tasks, the research group works together with scientific facilities and other institutions at home and abroad on various topics and projects.
Co-operation partners
Work was undertaken, for example, in the series of events called "Future Questions of integration and migration in Germany" carried out by the Protestant Academies in Germany in cooperation with the Federal Office. This highly regarded series of events ran for a period of three years and covers ten conferences on four topical themes:
- social cohesion
- from a deficit orientation to a resource orientation
- publicity and media presence
- opening up future educational potential.
The goal of the series of events is to work on concrete topics and questions, and in doing so to develop long-term perspectives. The individual conferences are to encourage ongoing development and accompanying initiatives. Based on this successful cooperation, plans have been made for working together in the future on individual events dedicated to specific topics.
In addition to these joint research projects, cooperation is also in place with universities and universities of applied science as part of the doctoral programme and in relation to teaching assignments.
