Project description
Managing migration flows in Europe
In order to deal with migration flows in Europe in an optimal way, the EU-funded ITFLOWS project aims to predict and manage migration flows via the creation of an evidence-based information and communication technology-enabled solution, the so-called EUMigraTool. The tool will ease the reception, relocation, settlement and integration of migrants. Intended to be used mainly by first-line practitioners, second-level reception organisations and municipalities, it will also help to predict migration flows and identify the potential risks of tensions between migrants and EU citizens. Ultimately, the project will formulate recommendations and good practices for the attention of policy makers, governments and EU institutions.
Objective
Prediction and management of migration are a major challenge for the European Union and also for many different stakeholder groups that provide resources and assistance to migrants along their journey. Yet, in order to develop better strategies and instruments among policy makers and practitioners in the field of migration, we still need a deeper understanding of this phenomenon.
ITFLOWS will generate novel insights on migration. The purpose of ITFLOWS is to provide accurate predictions and adequate management solutions of migration flows in the European Union in the phases of reception, relocation, settlement and integration of migration, according to a wide range of human factors and using multiple sources of information. These insights will be provided by an evidence-based ICT enabled solution (the EUMigraTool) and precise models. All solutions will have fitness for purpose continually validated by policy-makers and practitioners in cooperation with civil-society organisations in a dynamic and iterative process.
ITFLOWS will propose tailor-made solutions for practitioners and policy makers for managing migration. On the one hand, the EUMigraTool targets first-line-practitioners, second-level reception organisations and municipalities. It will provide modular solutions based on the prediction of migration flows and the identification of risks of tensions between migrants and EU citizens. On the other hand, an in-depth analysis on drivers, patterns and choices of migration as well as public sentiment towards migration will lead to the drafting of adequate recommendations and good practices for policy makers, governments and EU institutions.
