A very warm welcome to the knowledge and practice sharing expert study of the EU-funded MIMY research project (https://www.mimy-project.eu). MIMY is devoted to understanding migration/integration solutions for and with young adults, including both migrants and local populations. Participation in the study is completely CONFIDENTIAL and ANONYMOUS.

The aim of this survey is to engage people who make policy, and those who use policy (such as service providers, civil society and youth leaders), in developing policy recommendations and identifying promising practices in support of the 'integration' processes of young people across Europe.

In this study we focus on Third Country Nationals (TCN) and we use “migrants” as an umbrella term. It refers to mobile persons that fall into one of the following three categories that reflects a status of an individual: (i) migrant, (ii) refugee and (iii) asylum seeker. “Young migrants” for this study refers to young adults in those three categories aged 18-29.

In this study we target policy makers and policy users. A policy maker is a person who is responsible for policy strategy, frameworks, and the design of instruments. A policy user is a person who is responsible for putting the policy into practice (e.g. street worker; counsellor; social workers; family assistant), and adapting it to a context. Instruments linked to migrants are understood here as practices, tools and technologies which can be used to overcome challenges and to achieve aims.
Thank you very much for sharing with us your expertise, experience and time. We will contact you a few months from now to present the statistical results of this questionnaire and for the second wave of the study. In the meantime we will organise an international policy roundtable discussion to exchange knowledge, practices and plans.

Confidentiality and anonymity will be fully maintained and we will use your contact details only internally to facilitate the research process. Your contact details will stay in the confidential database of the MIMY Project, funded by the European Commission
An estimated time for completing this questionnaire is roughly 40 minutes. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expert knowledge and practice with us.
If you have any queries, please contact the researcher at your country.

Best regards, MIMY Team

RESEARCH CONSENT to participate in the research project

MIMY- Empowerment through liquid integration of migrant youth in vulnerable conditions

I confirm that I have read and understand the information about the project and this study. I have had the opportunity to consider the information, ask questions to my national research coordinator or international coordinator of the study and that I am satisfied with the answers.

I am aware that my participation in this study is entirely voluntary and that I can withdraw at any time without condition.

Thank you for agreeing to take part in this study.

Your contribution is very much appreciated.

Let’s start!

Many of us have questions about policy instruments linked to migrants and we need to find answers to them. Scientific research can help you to answer these questions in a dialogue with you.

The survey questions are in five parts:

1. General approaches to policy.
2. Hypotheses based on early findings from the previous stages of research of the MIMY project.
3. Specific issues linked to young adult migrants.
4. Impact of policy instruments.
5. Knowledge sources, gaps, knowledge transfer and expert’s anonymous profile.

You may not feel an expert in all the topics included in this questionnaire, but please try to fill in all the questions from your own unique perspective.
Please be reminded that the study is fully confidential and anonymous. Information you give us will be used for cross-analysis statistical purposes only.

Thank you for your time and contribution to the MIMY project!
