Their involvement in this policy area has rapidly grown in many European countries. Towards filling the gap concerning the prospects and conditions under which the integration of migrants in the Greek society can be better achieved, the purpose of the project LOMIGRAS was twofold: (a) to investigate the local government\u2019s involvement in the process of migrants\u2019 integration and the extent to which it promotes, or conversely hinders their integration, and (b) to develop a usable interactive tool to monitor and assess the effects of local government in promoting migrant integration. The starting assumption of this research was that local government institutions have a profound role in promoting, or conversely hindering, immigrants\u2019 integration, regardless of whether they explicitly assigned competences in this area.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Description<\/strong>: The LOMIGRAS project for the first time has developed and established a tool based on the EU Common Basic Principles, which have recognized the importance of monitoring and assessment mechanisms. Specifically, the project has (a) developed a set of criteria and indicators to measure migrant integration at the local level, and (b) designed a technological tool that allows stakeholders, such as local government authorities, other public agencies, and non-government organizations to apply and use this methodology in order to assess migrant integration outcomes. Overall, the project has an important contribution to academic research and policy-relevant knowledge both in Greece as well as other EU countries.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Project Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Dia Anagnostou \/ Senior Research Fellow<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Kontogianni Aimilia \/ Junior Research Fellow<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Dimitris Skleparis \/ Postdoctoral Research Fellow<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Markos Konstantakis \/ Junior Research Fellow<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 George Tzogopoulos \/ Research Fellow<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Alexandra Zavos \/ External Expert<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Andreas Takis \/ External Expert<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> The <strong>report<\/strong> on &#8220;Local Government and Migrant Integration in Greece&#8221; is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Case.study_.report.FINAL_.pdf\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <strong>Events<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; <a title=\"\u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03c3\u03bc\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03ad\u03c1\u03b5\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u0391\u03b8\u03ae\u03bd\u03b1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.euro2day.gr\/news\/highlights\/article-news\/1447449\/eliamep-periorismenh-h-prosvash-metanaston-stis-k.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Presentation LOMIGRAS findings in Athens<\/a>, 7 September 2016<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> Visit the <strong>website<\/strong> of the project <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lomigras.gr\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1:article&amp;catid=11&amp;lang=en&amp;Itemid=147\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":23974,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"program":[22],"projects-cat":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/23973"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/23973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46077,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/23973\/revisions\/46077"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=23973"},{"taxonomy":"projects-cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects-cat?post=23973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
