Refugee Integration in South East Europe (RISEE)
RISEE explores refugees’ entry routes, their integration outcomes, subsequent challenges throughout the COVID pandemic and the provision of support services in the region.
RISEE also explores how South-Eastern European states’ refugee-absorption capacity has affected the relocation scheme that was adopted by the EU in 2015 and how do the political economy differences between Eastern and Western Europe play out in terms of responsibility-sharing within the EU.
Research Goals
Assess refugees’ situation post arrival and explore how service provision in the region changed throughout the COVID pandemic
Assess how ideas of responsibility-sharing inform the EU/non-EU transitory phenomena
