International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion (IMISCOE)
IMISCOE, has been funded by the EU to stimulate research in the field of migration,
immigration and multiculturalism in Europe. In essence, it is a European version
of the the centers of excellence that comprise the Canadian portion of the Metropolis
Project. As this consortium of 19 European research institutes is headed by
the European co-chair of the International Metropolis Project, Rinus Penninx
at the University of Amsterdam, and includes many members of the International
Steering Committee for Metropolis, we can look forward to extensive collaboration
between IMISCOE and Metropolis in the years ahead. For more information visit

English research summaries. For example, the Dutch research links include:
- Individualisation and social integration
- Cities and region: Social agenda
- Districts for illegal immigrants

New Zealand
The New Settlers Programme at Massey University aims to contribute to the attainment
of three broad, interrelated outcomes:
1) Development of a balanced, well integrated institutional structure of immigration
consisting of
(a) an immigration policy regulating entry,
(b) an effective post-arrival immigrant policy geared to the economic, social
and cultural needs of migrants (assisting them to adjust and integrate), and
(c) an ethnic relations policy appropriate to a situation of emerging multiculturalism.
2) A reduction in the difficulties experienced by immigrants in the process
of settlement.
3) An increase in the benefits accruing to New Zealand from its targeted immigration
programme.
It has three broad interrelated operational objectives:
Objective 1: Longitudinal Study of New Settlers to determine, from the perspective
of new settlers from India, the People's Republic of China and South Africa,
the nature, impact and policy implications of factors affecting their settlement,
adjustment and responses.
Objective 2: Host Society Context: Policies and Practices to identify the
policies and practices of New Zealand groups, social organisations and institutions
which influence immigrant settlement, contextualising observations made in
the longitudinal study.
Objective 3: The Wider Immigrant Context and Experience to identify aspects
of the settlement experience in the wider immigrant community, including its
voluntary organisations, in order to contextualise and check the external
validity of observations made in the longitudinal study.

Switzerland
The Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies is an independent research
institute affiliated to the University of Neuchâtel. It conducts scientific
research in the fields of migration and demographic issues with the aim of contributing
towards a pragmatic discussion on topics associated with migration. Since it
was founded in 1995, the Forum has been conducting political research, appraisals
and consultancy work, which are either commissioned from it or carried out as
part of the furtherance of scientific research both in Switzerland and internationally.
Research domains include: asylum; integration; migratory movements; racism and
discrimination; and demography. It has an extensive working paper series with
studies in German and French. For more information, visit http://wwwmigration-population.ch
United Kingdom
In October 2004 the ESRC Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) celebrated
its first birthday. Already it has 10 major research projects underway, has
completed several consultancies and yet more projects are planned for next year.
In September, COMPAS held two panels at the Metropolis Annual Conference: ‘Co-operative
Migration Management: International, National and Local Answers ’. The first
was: Impact of EU Accession – What do we know so far? ‘ and the second was entitled
‘Migration and Development: Beyond Increasing Incomes’.
From January 2005 it will be commencing a weekly academic seminar series in
Oxford. The first series will be on the theme of: ‘Contemporary International
Migration – Key Issues’. This will bring together well established academics
and practitioners to explore vital concerns, state-of-the-art knowledge and
new approaches within migration studies today.
COMPAS will run two panels at the 9th International Association for the Study
of Forced Migration (IASFM) Biennial Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
There are now 8 working papers available at http://www.compas.ox.ac.uk/publications/working_papers.shtml

Recently Funded Research For Metropolis Researchers
COMPAS
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation Poverty and Disadvantage Committee are funding
an extension to the project - ‘Changing status, changing lives?’ COMPAS programmes
2 and 5, are now undertaking research focussing on the impacts that EU enlargement
will have on living and working conditions of low wage migrants. This new funding
(approx. £88k) will therefore build on and extend data and analysis collected
prior to enlargement, by comparing the consequences for legal and irregular
migrants of being granted the economic and social rights of an EU national.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation Immigration and Inclusion Programme has awarded
COMPAS £80,872 for a project on – ‘Muslims and Community Cohesion in the
UK’. This will be an 18 month project that aims to identify the factors which
contribute to or undermine community cohesion in two contrasting urban areas
in which significant numbers of Muslim migrants and long term Muslim residents
are living. This project crosses over programmes 3 and 5 and will be headed
up by Steven Vertovec.
