Inleiding - Introduction Missie en visie van het Steunpunt - Mission and vision of the Centre

Urban as weil as rural areas around the world are currently being confronted with fundamental economic, political, social, cultural and religious transformations. As acknowledged by the Policy Note of the Flemish Government on 'Inburgering & Integratie 2009 - 2014' (Civic integration 20092014), Flanders is, as a result of the ongoing migration dynamies and the economie and environmental crises, experiencing a diversification of its population to such an extent that the traditional soda I, economic and politieal power relations are put into question and in need of being renegotiated. As a consequence of the complexity and variety in recent migration patterns, Western-European regions such as Flanders can be described as 'superdiverse'. While in the past 'the other' was primarily the 'socio-economically disadvantaged Muslim', nowadays society and the dominant group therein are faced with a multitude of others, with varying and complex cultural, economie, and religious positions. One trend is that in different urban areas previously dominant autochthonous majorities are expected to become a minority in the near future. This is also the case for FlandersjBelgium where the population growth rate is more than twiee the ave rage EU rate and half of the new population is expected to come from non-EU countries (Trading Economies 2011). Another phenomenon is that established minority communities and the dominant majority both are confronted with the emergence and construction of new communities claiming their own rights. This increasing diversity significantly changes the demographic but also political, cultural and economie representation of a society. The processes of social transformation resulting from migration dynamics that societies and their citizens are confronted with trigger a 'step-change' which some define as a paradigm shift. These shifts also appear in the global economy where they are restructuring traditional labour market relations. It is generally accepted that transnational flows of people, goods and knowledge become imaginative resources for the creation of communities and the emergence of "multiple modernities". Furthermore, the claiming of identity rights is strongly influenced by power mechanisms and politico-economie differences between social groups. New economic, legal and politieal processes can create opportunities for minorities to claim certain (identity) rights, to claim their 'otherness' and to institutionalize it. However, these opportunities vary according to certain parameters, such as one's national background (e.g. recently established EU minorities can claim certain rights that longer established and older not EU-minorities cannot); one's economic status (economically weil performing minorities are often granted more opportunities as they are perceived as positive contributors to society); one's cultural-religious affinity (Muslim minorities are more often negatively perceived while affiliation with Christian minority groups is feit as self-evident by the dominant majority); and, one's legal status (opportunities for certain categories of newcomers can differ signifieantly, even more so when compared with those of the dominant national group). Crucial in these claims is not only the nationaljregional juridical context but also European legislation concerning the treatment and incorporation of minorities and diversity policies. Equally important is

5

the role of economic opportunities for both the dominant majority and for the minority groups in the process of renegotiating a new equilibrium in Flanders. However, these evolutions hold also a pro mise for Flanders. The emerging diversity creates the opportunity for constructing a more open and collective identity that states basic and shared (political, economic, cultural) conventions and creates space for the construction and practice of sub-identities within the context of a new social cohesion. More concretely, the Flemish Policy Note 'Inburgering en Integratie' envisages a social model- Pact 2020 - in which all citizens, on the basis of

equality and within a shared frame of norms and values while respecting the uniqueness of each citizen,

participate in order to realize this mission. Two

central concepts in this mission are

'Inburgering' and 'Integratie'. 'Inburgering' or civic integration refers to programmes and processes

that are targeted at integration, which strives for active participation of all citizens in all sectors of society, especially in the domains of labour and education but also in the domains that are more related to one's self-expression - culture, recreation, religion, etc. This perspective will allow a critically understanding and evaluation of 'civic integration' around which different target groups, policy domains and social sectors interact. This differentiated approach is reflected in the four work packages that envisage formulating answers on several of the main challenges within the current debate on civic integration. The knowiedge, insights and know-how generated within these contexts has the ambition to inspire policy makers, stakeholders and civil society at large to capitalize on the growing diversity for making Flanders a better place to live.

1.2

Het consortium - The consortium

The consortium consists of four research groups which have already a longstanding tradition of collaborating together in (large) research projects (BELSPO, SBO, Policy Centre on Equal Opportunities) and are also actively involved in international research networks (IMISCOE). The consortium sees this program as an opportunity to capitalize on the existing research collaboration and to translate it into a policy oriented research program to enhance the understanding of civic integration in Flanders. The consortium consists of two main institutions (CeMIS and HIVA) that wil! be in charge of most of the research tasks. The institutions of the University of Ghent (SOL) and Hasselt (SEIN) will collaborate on some specific areas of expertise. CeMIS, University of Antwerp: Being a unique multidisciplinary centre in Flanders working on migration and intercultural studies, CeMIS has become an active academic centre weil embedded in the academic Flemish, Belgian and even European landscape as weil as in Flemish civil society. Leuven University: HIVA, the Research Institute for Work and Society, specializes in academic and policy-oriented research. It is a multidisciplinary research institute which is associated with KULeuven and has a longstanding tradition in migration and integration research. Ghent University: SOL (Steunpunt Diversiteit & Leren - Centre for Diversity & Learning): SOL offers the field of education, but also other sectors, support to help to develop everyone's aptitudes, irrespective of identity and background, in order to create equallearning opportunities .. Hasselt University: SEIN (Identity, Diversity and Inequality Research) conducts fundamental and applied research on diversity, (in)equality, identity and inclusion. The research of SEIN covers the economic, social and ethical dimensions of diversity. SEIN also supports actions that promote equality and inclusion.

The following figure graphically summarizes the centre's structure:

The transparent management structure wiJl allow for an efficient functioning of the centre and will guarantee the maximum optimalization of the resources available in the policy research centre. The Initiator is CeMIS (Centre for Migration and Intercultural Studies) at the University of Antwerp, represented by Dirk Vanheule, chair of CeMIS, and Christiane Timmerman, director of CeMIS. Dirk Vanheule holds the position of Promoter Coordinator. He will be responsible for the overall functioning of the centre, will represent it to all relevant stakeholders and will be the contact person for the Flemish Government. Each participating university has a promoter. Christiane Timmerman (University Antwerp) is Promoter for CeMIS; Johan Wets is Promoter for HIVA (KULeuven), Piet van Avermaet is Promoter for SDL (University Ghent) and Patrizia Zanoni for SEIN (University Hasselt). The Program Coordinator (Noel Clycq) is in charge of the well-functioning of the centre on a daily basis and responsible for the realization of its scientific program. Each research area or Work Package has a Work Package Coordinator (WP1: Johan Wets; WP2: Noel Clycq; WP3 & WP4: Peter De Cuyper). The Promoter-Coordinator, the Promoters, the Programme Coordinator and the WP Coordinators make up the Executive Committee. The general management of the Policy Research Centre is carried out by the Executive Committee which meets four times a year. The independent Expert Committee consists of Flemish scholars working on topics relevant for 'civic integration' and functions as an academic council that gives feedback on the scientific program. It will be broadened with members from other Policy Research Centres of the Flemish Government (if

7

not already represented), civil society representatives and stakeholders. The Expert Committee meets once a year. At present it consists of: Daniël Cuypers (UA); IIse Derluyn (Ugent); Danielle Dierckx. (UA); Kristel Driessens (Karel de Grote-Hogeschool); Philip Hermans (KULeuven); Wim Herremans (KULeuven); Annie Hondeghem (KULeuven); Bernard Hubeau (UA); Johan Leman (Kuleuven); Patriek Loobuyck (UAntwerpen, UGent); Ive Marx (UA); Bart Meuleman (KULeuven); Walter Nonneman (UA); Luc Seis (KULeuven); Jan Vranken (UA). The scientific quality control is guaranteed bya mixture of internal and external processes. a)

Each work package is directed by an experienced senior researcher (WP Coordinator). This allows for supervision of and support to the researchers on a day-to-day basis.

b) The Program Coordinator holds overview on the progress of the scientifie work within the work packages, can intervene if necessary and reports to the Executive Committee on the progress, guaranteeing the progress within the timeframe set out. The Executive committee has the authority to make adjustments where necessary. c)

In interaction with the Executive Committee it is decided whieh projects will be set up with an expert consultative committee, consisting of the researchers involved, academies (from the independent expert committee and others) with expertise in the subject and representatives of the administration in the related policy area.

d) The centre has an Expert Committee, an independent academie committee that will advise and reflect on the centre's academie work. This will contribute to the scientific quality control of the past and coming activities. e)

For purposes of external scientific quality control, the publieation plan includes the submission ofthe scientific results to national / international peer reviewed journals and the presentation of research results in national and international academie conferences and seminars.

f)

EVidently, the Steering Committee for the policy research centre is the predominant tooi for external control on the poliey oriented value and quality of the research. The Steering Committee is composed of both members of the Centre and representatives of the Flemish Government (from the Cabinet of the Minister and from the Flemish Agency for Internal Affairs and Civie Integration Policy). At the start of the centre and at the start of each working year, it is advisable that the Steering Committee clearly identifies the poliey oriented needs and, in light thereof, the value of the research to be undertaken.

g) Work Package 4 enables the centre to respond swiftly to ad hoc policy questions and to demonstrate the policy oriented input of its research.

Werkpakketten - Work packages Algemene doelstellingen en verwachte resultaten - Overall objectives and expected results

Since 2004, the concepts of civic and social integration have developed into a fully-fledged priority policy theme. Scientific research can assist policy makers and stakeholders to meet efficient and effective criteria while developing plans and policies. Scientific know-how on immigration dynamics, procedures, coping strategies, the profile of different target groups, opportunities, obstacles, attitudes of different groups involved, are indispensable for the development of well-informed and feasible policy programs on civic integration. Therefore, in this multiannual programme four work packages are designed to meet the objectives of the Flemish Agency for Internal Affairs and Civic Integration Policy put forward in the policy note on 'Inburgering & Integratie 2009 - 2014' and the call on Policy Research Centres launched by the Flemish government. The first work package monitors migration trends and their (potential) impact on civic and social integration processes and integration policies. The second work package concentrates on specific target groups in different social domains, focusing on a more qualitative approach of migration and civic and social integration issues. It works transversally to maintain close ties with other policy research centres and also executes projects on issues related to ethnic entrepreneurship, civil impact, Dutch as a second language and fundamental rights related questions. The third work package focuses on the effectiveness and efficiency of different policy tools and on the evaluation of different policy programmes. The fourth and final work package gives room to policy makers to formulate specific ad hoc research questions. The Steering Group further elaborates this package. Given that one of the characteristics of contemporary society is that social evolutions are diffjcult to predict, policies on 'civic and social integration' can also change over years. Therefore, the Policy Research Centre expects targeted ad hoc research questions on new emerging issues and, although work package five is set up to focus on these questions, in each work package a certain amount of time and means is available for these potential questions. Furthermore, when necessary and in close communication with the executive committee, an expert consultative committee composed of, amongst others, members of the independent expert committee will be set up for specific projects to advise and give feedback to the researchers and work package coordinators involved. Transversality is a key topic in the Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration. This is apparent on the level of the research topics which cut across the different work packages. Findings from one work package will be used to strengthen the fieldwork and analyses in other work packages. Therefore, junior and senior researchers from the different work packages will work together on specific projects and inform each other on their findings and insights. At the same time each of the projects not only focuses on the perspectives, experiences and trajectories of newcomers and ethnic minorities but includes also the perspective of the receiving society and dominant majority as much as possible. This diversity of perspectives allows for gaining broad and in-depth insights on specific issues and on the impact and exchanges within society. Crucial for this centre is furthermore the collaboration with other Policy Research Centres. Formal

9

structures are set up to ensure collaboration is more easily obtained. As has been explained, an

independent Expert Committee is established with members from various policy Research Centres and with other scholars. It is the aim of this policy Research Centre on Civic Integration to include representatives of other relevant policy centres (policy Research Centre on Entrepreneurship and Regional Economy, the Policy Research Centre on Governmental organization and Decisive governance, the Policy Research Centre on Work and Social Economy, the Policy Research Centre on Education, the Policy Research Centre on Poverty and the Policy Research Centre on Health Care), civil society representatives and other stakeholders (like the Commission on Integration policy) into this committee. Additionally, for each of the projects, if necessary, a steering committee will be set up composed of policy makers, scholars and stakeholders to give feedback to the researchers during the research process. For each of these projects it is crucial to include members of other Policy Research Centres in this steering committee.

2.2

Werkpakket 1: Migratietrends en hun impact op integratie(beleid) - Work package 1: Migration trends and their impact on integration (policies)

2.2.1

Visie, probleemstelling en doelstellingen - Vision, problem statement and objectives

The goal of the First work package is to monitor migration trends and their (potential) impact on civic integration processes and civic integration policies. The monitoring will include a categoricaI approach (e.g. asylum seekers, refugees, unaccompanied minors, middle and East-European Roma migration ... ) as weil as a monitoring of the entry channels (family formation and family reunification, asylum, labour migration, ... ) and a monitoring of migration tendencies towards and through Europe. The latter implies detection of new migration flows and forms. Society is in permanent transition. Technological evolution, economic development and the demographic transitions shape social change. The Belgian population (as weil as the Flemish population) has, compared to other European countries, strongly increased. The EU27 population is projected to increase from 501 million in 2010 to 525 million in 2035, to peak at 526 million around 2040, and thereafter gradually to decline to 517 million in 2060. There are projected to be considerable differences between the Member States. Between 2010 and 2060, the population is projected to rise in fourteen Member States and fall in thirteen. Belgium is one of the countries where the strongest population growth is to be found: +24% by 2060. The increase of the Belgian population is mainly due to immigration, both of European migrants and third country migrants. The demographic composition of the countries of origin also alters. If the Moroccan population growth remains unchanged, Morocco will see its current population increase - in the same period of time - from largely 30 million inhabitants, to more or less 50 million. The increase of the emigration potential is in line with the population growth.

In other countries of origin like Bulgaria and

Romania, the population will decline sharply: minus 27% in Bulgaria and minus 19% in Romania. Population growth can be estimated, as weil as migration potential. Actual migration flows frequently deviate - because of a multiplicity of intervening factors - from the forecasts. To get a full picture of migration dynamics, a systematic monitoring of the migration flows, the migration potential and intervening factors is necessary. Still, misjudgements remain plausible. Policy planners in the United Kingdom for example, heavily underestimated the number of Poles 10

that would turn to the UK after the accession and the opening of the European labour market for new accession countries, with some social disruption as a consequence. The monitoring activities of the Policy Research Centre go bevond mere figures and the follow-up of demographic data. Where possible other elements will be taken into account. European legislation, changing laws in neighbouring countries, but also wa ge differences with neighbouring countries, social legislation etcetera, play a role in the migration dynamics, just like the Federal (Belgian) legislation and Flemish decrees impact on migration flows and integration processes. Minister Bourgeois' policy letter (2009) includes a long-term vis ion and strategy, which is translated in a number of objectivesjchallenges. To realize challenge 1 (make New Flemings find their place in society), to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the services offered (challenge 2) or at least to keep them in pace with changing reality, to optimize efficiency and effectiveness (challenge 3) given the continuously changing inflow, it is necessary to follow-up and evaluate the dynamics and the processes behind the inflow (challenge 4). This is the core of work package 1. The central research questions in work package 1 are:

1.

Which are the available statistica I data concerning the research population (inburgeraarsjnew Flemings ... ), both at international, European, Belgian and Flemish level? Which trends can be inferred from the analysis ofthe available data?

2.

What is the impact of the social transition which is caused by the inflow of New Flemings in several interaction spheres (social, economic, cultural, ... ) and at different policy levels? What is the impact of policy measures on the inflow of New Flemings and how is this translated in institutional settings and field work activities?

3.

What - in relation to a successful integration - are the main characteristics and needs of (l) the migrant population, (2) the actors involved in the (civic) integration process and (3) the receiving society? To what extent are these characteristics and needs integration-boosting or - hindering and to what extent can policy actors anticipate on this?

4.

What is the impact of the growing diversity on policymaking in Flanders, related to immigration and integration?

2.2.2

Werkplan - Work plan

Three substantive and specific tasks can be distinguished: Monitoring: monitoring inflow (taking the reasons for migration into account), in comparison with European trends and the distribution in Flanders (and Brussels). "Impact-analysis" of (new) policy measures on the inflow, taking all policy levels in Flanders into account (including municipalities). Qualitative research: Mapping migration-specific characteristics j needs in view offostering integration.

11

2.2.2.1

Monitoring

Monitoring (systematic follow up) is organized in different ways and on different levels of analysis (here translated into policy levels). Selected policy levels are monitored systematically by a quantitative follow up of available administrative statistic and databases and by a replication of initiative like the "civil impact" research (link work package 3). Quantitative monitoring also includes the follow up of different (foreign) statistica I sources at European level, at the level of the international community and of individual stat es which produce relevant statistics. Qualitative monitoring implies the follow up of non-quantifiable changes like alterations in legislation on regional, Federal and European level but also at the level of neighbouring countries. The introduction of more severe legislation in one country can have spill over effe cts in another. The Belgium route e.g. was an effect of stricter Dutch laws on family migration. Quantitative

Synthesis foreign experiences

The monitoring activities of the resource centre will build on the activities developed in the Policy Resource Centre on Equal Opportunities (2007-2011). The developed instrument (based on administrative date) will be continued and refined. As the used sources already indicate, monitoring activities include monitoring of the flow, as weil as monitoring of the stock. Centra I research questions are: This section will answer research question 1 : "Which are the available statistic data concerning the

research population (inburgeraars/new Flemings ... ), both at international, European, Belgian and Flemish level? Which trends con be inferred from the analysis of the available data? " Methodological approach: Statistica I follow up Document analysis Trend analysis Many administrative data have to be asked for. Privacy legislation guards the privacy of the population and often hinders researchers in putting together databases. As many data as possible will be asked for (following the appropriate procedures), collected and analysed. In many cases, the Privacy Commission decides who receives what, for what purpose. Since various data are gathered and made available on federallevel, evolutions on federallevel impact on the activities of this WP. The federal Crossroad Bank of Social Security (CBSS) has developed - in collaboration with the federal ministry of labour and the national register - a project to identify Belgians with a non-Belgian 12

background. This can become a very important tooi and facilitate the monitoring activities on e.g. marriage migration. As soon as this project starts officially, data that can now only be obtained from the CBSS using a complex algorithm, can be made available easily and give a much better (administrative) view on the Belgian population from foreign descent. The resource centre will collaborate on this with the Study Service of the Flemish Ministry (SVR) (see further). Time plan (48 months): The estimated research time for this component is 0.125 FTE annually (expert researcher for 1,5 months FTE). The follow-up of e.g. "civil impact" (WP2) is not included. The expert can and most probably will cooperate in ad hoc tasks to the extent that they are in line with the activities of WP 1. A junior researcher (scholarship student) will cooperate with the expert. He or she will be allocated in the qualitative module. Year 1: The follow up methodology will be elaborated and put into place. Databases on local, regional and federallevel will be collected and analysed. Year 2 to 4: More data are collected, more analyses are done and the methodology is fine tu ned. A close collaboration with the research department of the Flemish ministry (SVR) will be strived for in order to maximize the outcome and minimize duplication of activities.

2.2.2.2

tmpactanalyse -Impact analysis

The second task of WP1 is answering the question wh at the impact is of the social transition caused by the inflow of New Flemings. The here presented, very limited "impact analyses" of (new) policy measures focuses on effects the inflow of New Belgians has on different governmental levels in Flanders and vice versa. The outcome of this analysis is aimed at structuring and supporting the development of civic-integration policies. The goal is to define and assess the outcome of policy measures put into place and analyses their likely impacts on the civic integration sector.

13

Centra I research questions are: This section will answer research question 2. "What is the impact of the social transition which is caused by the inflow of New Flemings in several interaction spheres (social, economic, cultural, ... ) and at several policy levels? What is the impact of policy measures on the inflow of New Flemings and how is this translated in institutional setting and field work activities?". This research question will also be answered in the quantitative part. Methodological approach: A full impact analysis expects benchmarking, taking different spheres of society into account. This means that this type of "impact analysis" includes a thorough study and inventory of all potentially influential variables. Different policy measures are taken in different spheres. In such a situation it is extremely difficult to isolate the effect of any one initiative and the effe cts due to interactions with other initiatives, with mainstream services and the changing context. Evaluation faces severe difficulties in seeking to isolate policy andjor programme impacts. There are a number of other problems to add to this complexity of evaluation that creates further difficulties for impact evaluation. There is e.g. likely to be a lack of stability over time in the socio-economic contexts as weil as in the implementation of measures j initiatives. Given this complexity and given the limited resources for this task, only a limited but reliable "impact assessment" can be executed. This will rather be an effect analysis. Administrative data will be gathered and analysed, taking legal changes and other measures into account. This will allow giving an idea of the effects of political measures, knowing that the impact of other changes and societal transformations cannot be ruled out. Looking for added value, complementarily and additionally, collaboration with WP3 will be strived for. Time plan (48 months): The estimated research time for this component is 0.125 HE annually (expert researcher for l,S HE months). The expert can and most probably will cooperate in ad hoc tasks (WP4) to the extent that they are in line with the activities of WP1. A junior researcher (scholarship student) will cooperate with the expert. He or she will be allocated in the qualitative module. Deliverables: -

Onderzoek naar de impact van een groeiende superdiversiteit op het beleid inzake immigratie en integratie in Vlaanderen - Research into the impact of a growing super diversity on policymaking related to immigration and integration in Flanders

This mixed method research (qualitative and quantitative) focuses on the mapping of migrationspecifie characteristies/needs in order to foster integration. These characteristies appear in a changing society, a more 'super divers' society (Vertovec, 2007). This more divers inflow impacts on the composition of the migrant community and thus on the characteristies and needs. It impacts on the institutional setting and leads to a need to adapt policies and implement new policies. Integration is considered as a two way process, where newly arriving migrants do efforts to adapt to life in the host society, and where these host societies do (structural) efforts to welcome newcomers. All governmental levels (international, supranational, national, regional and local) can play their particular role. The interaction between newcomers and host society will be in the core of this task. In this module, a junior researcher (PhD student / scholarship) will be working on a long-term research that can be called "The impact of a growing super diversity on policymaking related to immigration and integration in Flanders". The promoter / coordinator of this work package will coach the researcher. Bart Meuleman (Faculty of Social Sciences) will be the PhD promoter. Centra I research questions are: This section will contribute to the answers on all research questions with a specific focus on the research questions 3 and 4: What - in relation to a successful integration - are the main characteristics and needs of (1) the migrant population, (2) the actors involved in the (civic) integration process and (3) the receiving society? To what extent are these characteristies and needs integration-boosting or - hindering and to what extend can policy actors (including subnational poliey actors) antieipate on this? -

What is the impact ofthe growing diversity on policymaking in Flanders, related to immigration and integration? How unique is the Belgian / Flemish situation compared to the situation in the neighbouring countries?

Methodological approach: The content of this qualitative component is a fundamentaljtheoretieal study of the processes whieh can be recognised in the course of integration route, taking the characteristics of individual new migrants into account as weil as existing rules and legislation and the larger social and economie fa brie. This research will be qualitative as weil as quantitative. Efforts can be maximized through collaboration with other work packages. The researcher in this work package will be trained in qualitative research methods as weil as quantitative methods and should be able to work on large databases and administrative data; he or she should be able to analyse and interpret quantitative data. The aim is to mould a researcher who can contribute to policy supporting research based on a decent academie training. The choice for PhD project in this work package is a choiee in line with both academie and policy-specific objectives of the policy research centre. Time plan (48 months):

Samenwerking - Collaboration

The researchers involved in the WP wil! collaborate in a systematic way between the work packages, where possible between resource centres (see further) and with the Study Service of the Flemish Government (SVR). -

The (internal) transversal collaboration with WP3 wil! be realized by letting both researchers working on WP1 and WP3, work as a couple in order to back-up each other activities.

-

The collaboration with WP2 wil! be realized by collaborating on specific projects, like e.g. the project on self-employed foreigners, executed by SEIN (UHasselt) where HIVA wil! make quantitative data available.

-

Study Service of the Flemish Government (SVR) has been contacted to establish a systematic collaboration. This will be done by first, deciding on a division of labour and second, by inviting the SVR in the steering committee, that councils the first WP. The above-mentioned division of labour will be decided upon at the moment of commencement of the resource centre.

Werkpakket 2: Transversaliteit en effectuering van grondrechten bij immigratie, inburgering en integratie - Work package 2: Transversality and effectuation of fundamental rights in immigration and civic integration

2.3.1

Visie, probleemstelling en doelstellingen - Vision, problem statement and objectives

The objectives of this work package are twofold:

(1) executing research and formulating poliey

recommendations; (2) functioning as a transversal contact and support point for policy makers. The research projects are clustered in two groups, one with a focus on civie integration issues in education and labour, and one with a focus on civie integration issues in identity constructions and identity rights in alegal framework. As put forward by the Ministry of the Flemish Community in the policy document 'Inburgering en Integratie 2009-2014' (Civic Integration 2009-2014) migration is also concerned with specifie interactions and needs in the receiving society (Bourgeois, 2009). Migrants arrive with certain resources of human, social and economie capital but do not always succeed in valorising their experiences, competences and talents. Research executed within the framework of the 'Integratiekaart' (policy Research Centre on Equal Opportunities) focuses on crucial institutional domains such as education and employment (Levrau, et alo, 2009; Geets, et alo, 2010, 2011). A mismatch seems most pressing in these domains as one can observe important differences in the overall position of new and old BelgiansjFlemings (Duquet, et. AI, 2006; Vertommen and Martens, 2005). Participation in society is strongly related to structural integration into the educational system and the labour market; having difficulties to overcome obstacles for entering these domains can have signifieant influence on one's socio-economie status (a genuine danger of falling into poverty, Van Robaeys, et alo, 2006) and well-being (Levecque & Lodewyckx, 2006). Therefore, one part of this work package concentrates on different research projects with specifie targets groups such as participants in OKAN-classes, Roma and ethnie entrepreneurship. In each of these projects the issues at hand will be studied from a diversity of perspectives, incorporating the views of different actors on different levels (citizens, policy makers, civil society workers, ... ) with or without an immigration background. A second cluster of research projects focuses on the role of identity constructions, and the relevance of fundamental rights therein, within a regional, national and European legal context, elaborating on the findings of the 'Integratiekaart' (Levrau, et alo, 2011; Vancluysen, et alo, 2009). The ethnieal diversification of society has been accompanied by a diversification of a liberalized citizenship and a growing importance of migrants' rights, minority rights and equality rights. The immigration states' response to this diversifieation has been a campaign for unity and integration (Joppke, 2010). This response must, however, comply with the requirements of a liberal state and the respect of fundamental rights and freedoms therein. As stressed in the policy document, migration processes do not only impact on migrants themselves but also on individuals in the receiving society (Bourgeois, 2009). Research shows interethnic interactions often are problematized and segregation is apparent, not only geographieally on the housing market but also in the educational system and on the labour market. Often these processes and problems are based on stereotypieal perceptions

17

of the other and on rigid identity constructions. Conceptions and interpretations of fundamental rights and their importance for the immigrant and receiving communities, play a role in the construction of identity. Hence, the research will focus on the two-way interaction between individuals and communities, between the individual's fundamental rights and the expectations of society, in the spirit of Article 1 ofthe Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood".

The Declaration also acknowledges that

everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of one's personality is possible (Article 29, 1) and that In the exercise of rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society (Article 29, 2). With good reason policy makers designed a Pact 2020 to improve social cohesion and strive for a more equal and just Flanders. To achieve these goals a better understanding of social differences, interethnic relations and ultimately the incorporation of 'the other' is necessary. Pact2020 aspires to help build a society that is more equal and less discriminatory. By providing insights and information but also tools and instruments, this work package takes up these goals and tries to have positive effects on social interactions and social cohesion in Flanders. Besides the execution of this research and the formulation of ensuing policy recommendations, a second major role of work package 2 is to function as an easy approachable central support and contact point. This entails to function as the contact point for the Flemish Minister of Civic Integration on integration related issues; to interact with and stimulate other policy research centres on the topics of migration, diversity and civic integration; to function as a central support and contact point for existing quantitative and qualitative research. Issues related to civic integration and migration cannot be the sole focus of one policy Research Centre on Civic Integration. In the domains of education, the labour market, health care and poverty the social challenges due to migration are also visible. A horizontal approach tackling these social hindrances is necessary, whereby the centre wil! function as a 'knowledge hub'. This work package focuses on this goal by working transversally, both at the external level (with other policy research centres) and the internal level (between the different work packages and consortium partners.) In order to achieve its goals, this work package cooperates with various policy research centres of which many have already acknowledged their membership of the independent expert committee set up by this policy Centre. More specifically, the centre aims to cooperate with the Policy Research Centre on Entrepreneurship and Regional Economy, the Policy Research Centre on Governmental organization and Decisive governance, the Policy Research Centre on Work and Social Economy, the Policy Research Centre on Education, the Policy Research Centre on Poverty and the Policy Research Centre on Health Care. Representatives of these centres wil! be invited to join the steering committees of the individual projects developed in this work package. These committees give feedback and support to the researchers during the project.

The choiee for PhD project concentrating on new- and oldcomers in the domain of education in this work package is a choiee in line with both academic and policy-specific objectives of the policy research centre. In order to allow for sufficient flexibility in light of the changing needs and questions concerning integration in the course of the centre's programme, the Steering Committee will further determine the target groups for Year 4. Additionally, suffieient means are made available for ad hoc research assignments coming from the transversal collaboration with other poliey research centres.

2.3.2.1.1

Roma in Vlaanderen, focus op scholing en wettelijke status - Roma in Flanders, a focus on scholarization and legal status

A new research project on Middle- and Eastern European (MEE) migration , with a special focus on Roma, has been awarded by the Flemish Government to Johan Wets, the coordinator of WP1 in this centre. As that project aims to give a general scope of the situation of MEE-migration through a monitoring of the situation, it also allows for a more in-depth ethnographic approach in the current project. Methodologically both projects differ and a win-win situation is created where the approach, focus and findings of both projects can be combined. As Roma are a socially vulnerable and often difficult to reach group sufficient time is needed for the qualitativejethnographie fieldwork. Research on undocumented children shows that there is great concern among school actors and civil society organizations with respect to the educational situation of Roma-children (De Clerck, et al., 2010). This difficult to reach group also seems to fall out of the scope of the educational system. This is even more troublesome given the observation that especially Roma-parents are reluctant sending their children to school. Significant diffieulties are identified in particular related to truancy and school failure. Possible explanations are the perception of and the meaning attributed to education by Roma parents and also the role of the school in the raising of children. Due to specific socioeconomie and cultural factors, and the experience of discrimination in the countries of origin, participation in the educational system seems to have fewer advantages for these parents and is less perceived as a means for upwards social mobility (Bafekr, 1999; Koning Boudewijnstiehting, 2009). This of course has important consequences for their partieipation in broader society and more specifieally on their entry in the labour market, as is also acknowledged by the European Commission (see below). To gain broad and in-depth insights into the social situation of Roma more 19

data need to be gathered concerning the interactions between Roma parents and children and the educational system and the labour market. Often these interactions are deeply intertwined with speeifie legal statuses. Therefore, next to a soeiologieal approach a more juridical one is necessary to understand the speeifie situations of Roma parents and children. Roma are a diverse group with different legal statuses of whieh little is known. Moreover, the enlargement of the European Union to Central and Eastern Europe, and the ensuing gradual liberalization of free movement of the eitizens of the new Member States, has resulted in an increasing number of Roma from these States entering and residing in Belgium and Flanders in particular. This development has also been influenced by other factors, such as the presence of communities in certain eities, the residence possibilities under federal immigration law and practiee and the access to soeial and economic rights and services. Like in other Western European Member Stat es, this has given rise to new questions as regards their legal entitlement, under European law, to soeial, economie and cultural rights and benefits in Belgium. Many Roma also' hold the status of third country nationals, thus facing also challenges of migrants coming from outside the EU. In its recent Communication on an EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies up to 2020 (COM(2011) 173/4), the European Commission has called upon the EU and Member States to tackle the persistent economie and soeial marginalization of what constitutes Europe's largest minority. Member States need to ensure that Roma are not discriminated against but treated like any other EU eitizens with equal access to all fundamental rights as enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. In addition, action is needed to break the vieious cycle of poverty moving from one generation to the next. The vast majority of working-age Roma lack the education needed to find good jobs. The Commission concludes that it is of crueial importance to invest in the education of Roma children to allow them later on to successfully enter the labour market. 1 The issue of Roma as such is not part of the scope of the new Policy Research Centre on Education. There is a possibility that Roma-pupils can be incorporated into the general survey planned by that centre, vet this has to be discussed in more detail wh en this centre is operational and in close collaboration with the partners involved. In the beginning of 2012 the partners from the Policy Research Centre on Education wiJl be contacted again to discuss this idea more in-depth. Furthermore, the case study of Roma parents and children will be used as a first step towards a broader research project focusing on parents with school age children (see 2.3.2.1.3). These new insights combined with the findings from the projects in WP1 and WP3 wiJl help to give a more clear idea of the issues and populations to focus on in this broader project. The overall aim of this project in WP2 is to gain deeper insights into the soeial situation of Roma parents and children, in particular with regards to their scholarization and their legal statuses. More speeifically, th is project aims at: 1. understanding the needs of Roma parents and children concerning their personal but also their familial situation ;

2. gaining insights into the educational situation of Roma; 4. examining the legal statuses of Roma and their rights under regional, federal and European law; 5.understanding the complexities of the integration processes of Roma parents and children; 6. collecting, analysing and contextualizing good practices set up to reach Roma parents and children, with a focus on critical success factors; 7. formulating policy recommendations to optimize the expectations and aspirations of policy makers, parents, children, schools and civil society. Centra I research questions are: o What are the needs of Roma parents and children concerning participation in broader society, and what is the social impact and are the expectations from society? o What are the resources and potentials present in the contexts Roma are living in and how can they be applied to strengthen the relationship between the actors involved? o What is the impact of legal entitlements and obligations of Roma with regard to their educational and labour market situation? o Which good practices can be identified to approach Roma parents and children? o What are the opportunities and obstacles to implement these good practices, what are the critical success factors of good working projects? o What questions are raised concerning the policy approach of Roma communities, is there a need for a more categorical approach in specific social domains? Methodological approach: As Roma are expected to be a difficult group to reach, a qualitative approach is most efficient. To answer these questions we envisage a combination of (l) consultation of existing material: (la) consultation of data sets on the social and legal situation of Roma children, (lb) document analysis of good practices, and contextualization of their critica I success factors and the (2) collection of new empirical data: (2a) interviewing 25 Roma parents (or children) through in-depth interviews or focus group discussions and (2b) 10 interviews with key figures in schools and civil society. This approach will offer data and information to increase our understanding in these complex processes. Roma parents and children will be selected in cities with large communities such as Ghent, Sint-Niklaas and Antwerp. This will be complemented by an analysis of the legal status, on the basis of a study on the traditional

OKAN-klassen als een instrument voor inburgerings en integratie -OKAN-c1asses as an instrument for civic integration

The issue of OKAN-classes as such is not part of the scope of the new Policy Research Centre on Education. There is a possibility that OKAN-classes can be incorporated into the general survey planned by that centre, vet this has to be discussed in more detail wh en this centre is operational and in close collaboration with the partners involved. In the beginning of 2012 the partners from the Policy Research Cent re on Education will be contacted again to discuss this idea more in-depth. Participation in society and social integration happens for youngsters mainly through education. For young newcomers specific OKAN-classes are organized. OKAN-classes (Onthaalonderwijs voor anderstalige nieuwkomers) stand for 'Reception classes for not-Dutch speaking newcomers. In the school year 2009-2010, 2431 pupils between the ages of 12 and 18 were enrolled in OKAN-classes. Whereas in the past these classes were composed quite homogenously they are now composed of pupils from very different migration histories, family situation, educational background and social support system. Only very few researchers studied the context and purpose of these OKAN-classes (Storme, 2009). As OKAN-classes are set up to help newcomers to enter regular education as smoothly as possible after their OKAN-classes, assessment of these classes is necessary. Therefore, the overall aim of this project is to gain deeper insights into the concept and tooi of OKAN-classes in the overall (civic) integration policy in Flanders. More specifically, this project aims at: 1. studying OKAN-classes as a tooi for civic integration; 2. analysing the possible mis match between the composition of these classes and its purpose as an integration tooi; 3. understanding the goals and aspirations of pupiIs and parents concerning OKAN-classes and pupils' incorporation into regular education or the labour market; 4. gaining insights in the possible effects of OKAN-classes on the educational and labour market careers of pupils; 5. formulating policy recommendations to optimize the expectations and aspirations of policy makers and pupils and parents. Central research questions are: o What is the aim of these classes, and are these aims sufficiently met? o What are the needs and aspirations of the individu als involved? o How is the communication between the parties concerned? 22

o Is a rethinking of OKAN-c1asses as an integration tooi necessary? Methodological approach: To answer these questions we envisage a mixed-method approach constructing a combination of (1) consultation of existing datasets at level of the schools, (2) document analysis on OKAN as an integration tooi, and (3) new empirical data gathering on the basis of qualitative in-depth interviewing. More concretely, a total of 30 in-depth interviews (with actors involved). To approach these respondents the focus will be on cities with a significant proportion of newcomers such as Antwerp or Ghent.

De sociale situatie van ouders met leerplichtige kinderen en hun interactie met de school - The social situation of parents with school-age children and their interactions with the school

Reception offices, that organize and facilitate the civic integration process in Flanders, experience difficulties in reaching parents with school-age children (Bourgeois, 2009). In some cases schools can be a more suitable way to approach these parents; additionally, civil society organizations and different schools also set up projects to reach this group. Good practices in this regard need to be collected and can assist policy makers in designing new ways of approaching these parents. This will bring policy makers, civil society and parents c10ser together and will help in designing a policy more adapted to the needs and challenges these parents are faced with. The insights from the case study of Roma parents and children and the data gathered in WP1 and WP3 will guide the focus of this project. What issues we need to focus on and what populations are most interesting and relevant, are questions to be answered by the research executed in the previous years. Therefore, the overall aim of this project is to gain deeper insights into the social situation of newcomers-parents with school-age children and their interactions with schools in Flanders. More specifically, this project aims at: 23

1. understanding the needs of 'newcomer parents' with school-age children for participating

efficiently in society; on the level of the parents as weil as on the level of the family as a who Ie. 2. gaining insights into the reasons for the (non)participation of parents into the courses for 'civic participation' ; 3. collecting, analysing and contextualizing good practices set up by schools and civil society to increase mutual understanding between schools and parents; 4. formulating policy recommendations to optimize the expectations and aspirations of policy makers, parents, schools and civil society concerning the aims of civic integration policy. Central research questions are: o Wh at are the needs and desires of 'newcomer parents' with school-age children for participating efficiently in a society? o What are the resources and potentials present in these contexts, how can that be applied to strengthen the relationship between parents, the schools and the Offices for Civic Participation? o Which good practices can be identified to approach these parents? o What are the opportunities and obstacles to implement these good practices? Methodological approach: To answer these questions we envisage a combination of (1) consultation of existing material and document analysis of good practices, and contextualization of their critical success factors, and the (2) collection of new empirical data: (2a) 10 in-depth interviews (with parents and children) and (2b) 10 interviews with key figures in schools and civil society.

Een verkennende kwalitatieve studie van de snelst groeiende groepen van ondernemers van vreemde afkomst: Motivaties en ervaringen van Poolse, Roemeense en Bulgaarse ondernemers in Vlaanderen - An exploratory, qualitative study of the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs with foreign origins: Motivations and experiences of Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian entrepreneurs in Flanders

Background and theoretica I framework: This project generates initial insights in the self-employment of individuals with an immigrant background. The Ministry of the Flemish Community has recently identified entrepreneurship as an important way for these individuals to achieve civie integration in Flemish society (Bourgeois, 2009). Entrepreneurship represents in deed an important driver for the economy and is today considered as one of the strategies to reduce individuals' risk of (long-term) unemployment and increase their employability (Georgellis et alo, 2005). Over the past decade there has been a rise of immigrants from the new EU member states (Grzymala-Kazlowska, 2005; Paspalanova, 2006; Galent et alo, 2009; Levrau et alo, 2011; Vancluysen

& Hennau, 2011). Nationals from these new accession countries have the right to be self-employed in Flanders without restrictions; they often start their own enterprise. Although the top of the list of foreigners that enter into entrepreneurship in Belgium are citizens of EU15 countries, the next, fastest growing group are East European nationals (UNIZO, 2011). Nation-wide figures of the

National Institute for the Social Security of the Self-employed (RSVZ) show that in the period 20042010 the number of entrepreneurs with Polish citizenship increased grew from 2596 to 6973, those with Rumanian citizenship from 811 to 7663, and those with Bulgarian citizenship from 581 to 4113. Most of self-employed Eastern European nationals are working in the industry and crafts (i.e. construction, transportation and furniture) and commerce (UNIZO, 2009, 2011). A signifieant proportion is active in 'ethnic niches' or an 'enclave economy', referring to businesses th at primarily serve the own ethnie community (see Paspalanova, 2006; Levrau et alo, 2011). Historically, the international scientifie literature on ethnie minority entrepreneurship has investigated either the specific characteristies of immigrant entrepreneurs with particular attention to their embeddedness within the own immigrant communities or the social, economie and institutional context factors affecting ethnic minority entrepreneurship (Ram & Jones, 2008; Zhou, 2004). In the former case, the focus is on specifie combinations of cultural, social and economie resources available to immigrant entrepreneurs due to the ethnie community they belong to, in the latter, on the broader environmental and institutional factors that foster or hamper ethnic minorities' entrepreneurship, for insta nee in terms of start-ups, sectors, growth, and success rate. Studies have attempted to combine both approaches adopting a mixed embeddedness perspective to account for the specificity of ethnic minorities' entrepreneurship (Kloosterman et al. 1999). This study will adopt a mixed embeddedness perspective to empirically investigate Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian immigrant entrepreneurship in Flanders on which there currently is extremely limited knowledge research. Recent UK research suggests that Polish immigrants have little access to formal sourees of adviee and finance because of a language barrier, a lack of knowledge of available support and a lack of trust in state institutions (Helinska-Hughes et alo, 2009). They primarily rely on the social capital they mobilize within their own local ethnic community to start-up and develop their businesses. However, differing backgrounds and amounts of social, cultural and economie capital lead to an intra-ethnic variation in the Polish entrepreneurial community (Vershinina et alo, 2011).

25

This project is relevant for the Flemish policy making on civic integration because it advances the currently limited knowledge on the motivations, ambitions, experienced barriers and success factors of self-employment among individuals with an immigrant background. Specifically, this study wil! generate information that can be used to improve the efficacy of the initiatives of public agencies and associations of entrepreneurs to support (ethnic minority) entrepreneurship, fostering economic success and integration. This wil! be set, analysed and examined in the general context of entrepreneurship by individuals with an immigrant background. Research objectives: This study has four specific aims: 1. to gain insight in Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian entrepreneurs' motivations and experiences of turning to self-employment, including their decision to migrate; 2. to understand the role of their economic, cultural and social capital in entrepreneurial entry and performance; 3. to understand the role of institutional opportunities and barriers in entrepreneurial entry and performance; 4. to unravel Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian entrepreneurs' experiences with and perspectives on initiatives by public agencies on entrepreneurship and associations of entrepreneurs. Methodological approach: The research objectives wil! be obtained by means of semi-structured personal in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs with Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian citizenship living in Flanders. About 30 to 36 interviews should generate in-depth insight into their profile, experience with entrepreneurship, entry motivation, barriers, ... etc. Given the ethnic heterogeneity and the small size of the sample, we wil! attempt to maximize homogeneity along other relevant identity lines (i.e. sector, age, educational level). We wil! identify sampling criteria based on statistica I analyses of available RSVZ data conducted by the HIVA under supervision of Johan Wets (research line 3). This study builds upon the research expertise of SEIN on the Polish immigrant community in Flanders and on ethnic minorityentrepreneurship.

Monitoring van de sociale impact van het integratiebeleid - Monitoring social impact of integration policy (project executed by SOL)

Within the Flemish integration programme an active engagement of new citizens is expected by doing an education trajectory focusing on language and knowledge of society. This is seen as a first step in a process of integration. On the other hand, from society at large an engagement is expected to recognize and value the efforts ofthe migrants. Integration is seen as a reciprocal process. This question of reciprocity and civil impact was the starting point and main focus of an ElF research project (nr. 203) into social impact of integration. The aim of this research project was first to define and operationalize the concept 'social impact'. On the basis of the definition the concept will be operationalized to determine key indicators of 'social impact'. The development of the conceptual model is been realized through face-to-face interviews with stakeholders from different societal domains (administrative and institutional settings, employers, newcomers, ... ). This information allows the researchers to develop an implementation model to measure social impact of integration polieies and programmes in a more systematic and continuous way. Within the ElF project an instrument is being developed which allows replieation in order to gather data easily and to map social impact effects over time. The measurement to be conducted in the ElF project in 2012 is considered as a base line measurement. The qualitative data, gathered through interviews with stakeholders and migrants, not only contribute to the development of the indicators for the measurement instrument. They also yield more refinedjin-depth information on the perceptions, expectations and actions of different stakeholders in various societal domains. This research project will build on the outcomes of the 2012 ElF study on social impact. This will allow us to monitor the social impact of the Flemish integration policy. This research is as weil for poliey purposes as for the social cohesion of Flanders as a multicultural society extremely relevant. It is important to unravel and map possible processes of change with regard to integration. This research will contribute to strengthening the aims of the Flemish integration policy and ultimately the processes of social participation of migrants. We will conduct a follow up research project ofthe ElF 203 project on social impact of integration.

27

Central research questions are: o How is this engagement perceived by key stakeholders in sodety (education, job market, sodal housing market, local public services)? o Does this engagement of the 'new citizen', materialized through participation in an integration programme, has any (formalor informal) sodal value? o Does this fadlitate entrance on the labour market; in education; on the sodal housing market; in the communication with local civil services; ... ? o What is the surplus value of a migrant who followed an integration programme for an employer? Methodological approach: A base line measurement (web survey) will be conducted in 2012 into the sodal impact of integration and through interviews the perceptions, expectation and actions of different stakeholders will be assessed in-depth. This research will lead to a number of findings and policy recommendations. We will conduct in 2015 a new measurement (first measurement after the base line measurement in 2012) into the sodal impact of integration. The aim of this research project is to investigate and map the possible changes in legislationjregulations (sinee 2012); into possible changes of sodal impact of integration and in the possible changes in perceptions of stakeholders. For the execution of this research project the survey instrument developed in the ElF 203 project will be used. In addition an optimized version of the semi-structured questionnaire, also developed in the ElF 203 project, will be used to look at alterations in stakeholders' and migrants' perceptions. An analysis of policy documents will be conducted to look at possible changes in legislationjregulation regarding the Flemish integration policy. We opt to conduct this research project in 2015 (three years after the base line measurement), as we expect that possible processes of change we want to look at here need time and will only be observed after such a time span. Time plan (5 months): This work package will take up 5 months (100% FTE in 2015) 1 FTE junior researcher, O,25FTE research managerjsenior researcher The study consists of the following phases: Analysis of policy documents, legislation and regulations with regard to th is topic Survey (data collection, -analysis, interpretation) Optimizing semi structured questionnaire ofthe ElF 2011-2012 project Interviews stakeholders Comparing survey and interview data of 2012 and 2015 Comparing legislationjregulations of integration policy of 2012 and 2015 Reporting Formulating policy recommendations Deliverables: Research report Presentation research results for Flemish Agency for Internal Affairs and Civic Integration Policy Presentation research results for civil society organizations and stakeholders

Naar Pact2020: uitdagingen voor de effectuering van inburgering en integratie tegen de achtergrond van fundamentele rechten - Towards Pact 2020: Challenges for the effectuation of civic integration against the background of fundamental rights

A second general work package concentrates on the social and legal issues related to the effectuation of integration against the background of fundamental rights. In order to achieve its goals, this project aims to cooperate with the Policy Research Centre on Culture, the Policy Research Centre on Equal Opportunities and the Policy Research Centre on Poverty (Steunpunt Cultuur, Steunpunt Gelijkekansenbeleid, Steunpunt Armoede). The overall time plan is 1 FTE over 4 Years, supervised and guided bya WP-coordinator 0.25 FTE over 4 Years. Background and theoretica I framework: The acquaintance and familiarization with language, societal norms and values and the labour market, must allow 'newcomers' to participate and integrate into society, without having to abandon their own culture and identity. The question remains how individual identity constructions and civic integration are related to one another. This relationship is important to understand the steps that are needed to come to an inclusive society in 2020. Which are the barriers on this path and which resources can be used thereto? In recent years, these issues have also been given alegal connotation and have been, in Flanders and Belgium like in multiple European countries, been the object of litigation, often up to the European Court of Human Rights (e.g. the ban of the headscarf for Muslim women; the ban of crucifixes in schools). The fundamental question therein is to what extent the conception and understanding of norms and values and the construction and development of one's identity thereon, actually leave room for the individual's development of his or her identity and personality. Fundamental rights and freedoms like freedom of religion and speech, but also the right to non-discrimination and the right to work, play a role therein. The right of the one, may even conflict with the right of the other; similarly, the right of the individual may conflict with general interest. These legal questions exemplify the possible frictions that exist in society between the expectations living within the F1emish society (at large or at the individual level), on the one hand, and the expectations of 'oldcomers' or 'newcomers', on the other. This intrieate connection between rights, duties and expectations of the individual and of society has also been acknowledged in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that states that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (Article 1), that everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of one's personality is possible (Article 29, 1) and that in the exercise of rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratie society (Article 29, 2).

29

To understand these frictions, and to overcome possible barriers, the generally accepted values and norms behind these discussions must be identified. This is only possible by hearing all cat ego ri es of members in society: 'original' Flemings, 'oldcomers' and 'newcomers'. Which are the formal norms and values that 'newcomers' are expected to adopt (and can they adopt them), or is integration related to the complex, vague, and by differences in power dominated sociological reality? Are the common values that the newcomers are expected to adopt sufficiently clear and do all Flemings hold the same general idea about these values and their culture? Understanding these va lues will then also allow evaluating the means of acquiring a more inclusive society. The efficiency of the present instruments in the civic integration process (integration courses, employment tracks), but also more legalized forms of conflict resolution (court action; alternative forms of dispute resolution like mediation and the use of caseworkers) will be examined. At the same time alternative mechanisms for civic integration can be identified (e.g. education, sports, youth organizations). The overall aim of this project is to gain deeper insights into the relationship between individual identity constructions and civic integration. More specifically, this project aims at: 1. understanding the values and norms that are considered to be commonly accepted in Flemish society; 2. gaining insight in the perception of these values and their relevanee for personal identity by members ofthe receiving and the incoming communities; 3. understanding the impact of tools for civic integration, dispute resolution and inclusion thereon; 4. collecting, analysing and contextualizing good practices to overcome obstacles to the development and acceptance of common values; 5. formulating policy recommendations to increase the integration processes. Centra I research questions are: o Which values are deemed fundamentally common by Flemings, "oldcomers" and "newcomers"? o Which views exist on the individual's liberty therein? o Is there a difference between the norms and values used in the formal civic integration process and the commonly accepted values and norms? o Which tools (civic integration, dispute resolution, others) can contribute to more inclusion, taking into account the possibly identified tensions between general expectations, formally adopted norms and values and individual identity? o Which good practices (national and international) concerning the relationship of rights, identity, citizenship and civic integration can be identified? o How do rights, duties and expectations of individuals and society interrelate and affect each other? Methodological approach: To answer these questions we envisage a combination of sociological and juridical approaches. (1) consultation of existing material, with a specific focus on databases relating to norms and values such as the European Social Survey, and an analysis of the relevanee of national and international human rights standards and the impact of dispute resolution (both at the national and European level), and the (2) collection of new empirical data through in-depth interviews with key figures in civil society and academies, and administrative actors involved at the local and central government

level. This approach will offer data and information to increase our understanding in these complex

processes. This work package wil! allow a transversal approach in different areas of life - family life (the relevanee of family reunification); - employment (the right to work and non-discrimination); - social benefits (the access to socio-economie rights); - schooling (the impact of freedom of religion); - culturallife (the cultural rights related to cultural heritage).

Werkpakket 3: Efficiëntie en effectiviteit van het integratie- en inburgeringsbeleid - Work package 3: Efficiency and effectiveness of the civic integration policy

Through its civic and social integration policy the Flemish Government aims to achieve greater participation among the newcomers and oldcomers in our society. When implementing this policy, special emphasis is being placed on the effeetiveness of the measures that are used, the efficiency and effectiveness of the policy tools and the systematic evaluation of the implemented policy (Bourgeois, 2009). This work package contributes to this by offering greater insights into the effeetiveness of policy, the policy tools and by finding out how policy can be implemented more

efficiently. One of the key elements (among others) we wil! address is the efficiency of the NT2 pathways and the effectivity of NT2 as a tooi for integration.

2.4.1

Visie, probleemstelling en doelstellingen - Vision, problem statement and objectives

At the beginning of the twentieth century Belgium shifted from being an emigrant country to an immigrant country. It was only in the mid-1990s that there was a growing awareness that immigration was a permanent feature (Degroote, 2004). The civic and social integration policy for newcomers therefore came into being only recently. Over the years, civic integration policy has grown and developed strongly as weil in terms of participation as in budget. Alongside overt civic integration policy, the Flemish Government also addressed 'integration policy', which comprises an inclusive approach with a focus on living together in diversity and which targets both 'old' and 'new' Flemings. In 2009 a new decree (integration decree) provided new outlines for the integration sector. (Fermont&Ravijts, 2009). As a result of these policy decisions, a civic and social integration sector has come into being with a number of officially recognized players, offering a range of different (central but also local) tools to promote civic and social integration. These tools are constantly being refined and extended: a baseline social orientation test, a preliminary civic integration pathway in the country of origin, enforcement of the obligation through administrative fines, civic integration coaches, integrated language courses, social orientation self-study packages, etc.

2

With an influx of 30,000 newcomers, this integration policy will clearly continue to be significant in the coming years. The goal of this work package is to determine to which extent the tools used to achieve (civic)integration are effective and efficient. An understanding of the extent to which policy goals are being achieved, the contribution made by the various tools towards the desired goals, the extent to which implementation is also efficient and the sector is appropriately structured are all essential for effective policy implementation. Improved insights into this area wil! allow policymakers to make adjustments to their policies on civic and social integration and ensure that both development and innovation in these areas are channelled along the correct lines. Insight in this area wil! also contribute towards a greater fundamental knowledge of the impact of integration tools on the integration of new and oldcomers.

2.4.2

Werkplan - Work Plan

In this first work package the focus is on the efficiency and effectiveness of (civic) integration policy and the tools used. This builds on the methodology and results of the evaluations carried out in 2005 and 2007 about the efficiency and effectiveness of Flemish civic integration policy (De Cuyper& Wets, 2007; De Cuyper et al. 20lDa, De Cuyper 2010b, De Cuyper et al. 20lDc, Geets et al. 2007, Pauwels& Lamberts, 2010, Wets, 2007). This allows us to create an on-going evaluation process, build on the accumulated knowledge and map developments in the efficiency and effectiveness of policy. While previous evaluations focused on the primary integration programme, significant attention is now paid to the (transition) to the secondary integration programme.

2 We use a broad definition of 'policy tooi', which includes 'means by which policymakers seek to influence processes to arrive at a desired situation" (Bressers, De Jong et al, 1993 in: Schram F. (2005)).

32

Centra I research questions are: o To what extent is civic integration poliey effective in terms of its rea eh, contracts signed, achieved certificates and progression into the secondary integration programme? (=output or achievement of goals); o Whieh tools and (Iocal) practiees in policy delivery contribute towards increasing the output? o What do the secondary pathways for persons integrating (= inburgeraars) look like? Do they differ according to region or target group? o What are the effects of civie integration policy on persons integrating? What is the added value for persons integrating? Are the policy aims being achieved? (outeome) Wh at mix oftools wil! yield the best results and does this differ according to the target group? o What can the Flemish policy learn from existing scientific research about the effectiveness of integration tools? Besides a more general analysis we wil! address these general questions in more specifie modules. We will strive for complementarity with the 'team inburgering'. Besides the fact that this work package focuses on evaluation and the team civie integration on monitoring, we also wil! link the analysis of administrative data with process evaluation to explain the outputs from administrative data. Via this approach we will able to offer concrete recommendations on how to improve policy tools and implementation. The analysis of administrative data will not only be held on the central database for civie integration policy (KBI) but willlink all available administrative data on a cohort of persons i ntegrating. This includes VDAB data, data from the House of Dutch and data from Crossroads Bank for Social Security. We will analyse this data in depth using multivariate techniques.

2.4.2.1

Module 1: state of the art on research about eflectiveness of (civic) integration tools

In parallel with the developments taking place in Flanders, similar evolutions and developments are also taking place in many European countries. Many European countries have recently set up integration program mes for immigrants, either voluntary or otherwise. Examples include Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK. Outside Europe, integration programmes are in place in Australia, New Zealand and Canada (see Ministry of Housing, 201O). There is currently no systematie, easy assessable overview for policy makers of the existing research into the effectiveness and efficiency of the (civie) integration tools . Our aim in this module is to fill this gap. This module outlines a systematie and conceptually based overview of existing studies, looking at the efficiency and effectiveness of (civic) integration tools. This allows us to obtain an overview of what 'works' according to scientifie research and what does not. More specifically, this module aims: to review the state of the art with respect to the research on the effectivity and efficiency of integration tools. Special attention wil! be given to develop an international network related to the effectivity and efficiency of integration tools (capacity building); to tease out the most poliey relevant conclusions for the Flemish poliey on integration and generate possible poliey alternatives. 3 As asked by the department of civic integration special attention will be given to language policy and -promotion. We also will address the question to wh at extent the mix of instruments used by several governments addresses the diversity of target groups (cfr 'superdiversity')

33

Monitoring European research on the effectivity and efficiency of integration tools during the term of the policy centre; to prepare ground for the analysis of the specific research questions dealt with in this work package. Special attention is drawn on conceptualization of civic integration, methodology and methodological problems of these studies. Besides the input this module will deliver to the other modules in this work package, it will function as a central knowledge point on effectiveness of integration tools for both the other work packages as the ad hoc assignments. It also functions as a contact point for policy questions about existing or new (to develop) policy tools. For example policy makers can ask advice on which tooi is best suited to address a certain problem they want to solve.

Methodological approach: Wh en it comes to data collection we will use a combination of literature study and expert interviews.

2.4.2.2

Module 2: Mapping and assessing NT2 language pathways (in collaboration with Centre lor Diversity and Learning)

The policy document on civic and social integration emphasizes the importance of Dutch as a second language and sets out the objective of 'allowing more people to learn and speak Dutch' (Bourgeois, 2009). It is not only in Flanders that learning the language forms an important part of the process of civic or social integration; this is also the case in other European countries (Austria, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Latvia etc.) (Van Oers et al. 2010). Often this is the sole component of the integration programme. The reasoning behind this is that knowledge of Dutch not only helps persons integrating to become more self-reliant but also promotes wider integration: employment opportunities are increased and people become more 'rooted' in the country where they have taken up residence, for example by coming into contact with the native population. (Dagevos, 201O). The 2007 evaluation of civic integration policy showed that the drop-out rate from the civic integration pathway is quite high, and quite a few respondents suggested that the largest drop-out rate occurred at the point of entry to and participation in NT2 (De Cuyper, 201O). Qualitative interviews with newcomers themselves also showed that the language skills of many newcomers a few years after completing their civic integration pathway did not exceed a basic level of Dutch (ERK Al) (Lamberts &Pauwels, 201O). The aim of this work package is threefold: mapping language pathways followed by 'inburgeraars', we both want to map pathways for regular providers such as VDAB; gaining insights into organizational factors that may account for differences in drop-out and progression rates, identify (Iocal) tools and existing practices to reduce dropout rates and promote progression. derive a level of Dutch that should be considered as a minimum initial qualification if it is to have any effect on the integration of newcomers in the labour market. This will provide insights to policymakers on the NT2 qualification that should serve as a minimum in order to generate a civic effect (cfr introduction of a civic integration certificate).

34

If possible we will map the effects of language promotion. Central research questions are: What is the effect of a specific level of Dutch language ability on integration in the labour market? Does language promotion enhance this integration? What do the language pathways look like? What levels do persons integrating achieve? Does this differ according to region or profile? What does explain regional differences in output? What are good practices to reduce dropout rates and promote progress? Methodological approach: We will be using a mixed method approach. In order to answer the research questions, it will be necessary to create links between a number of different databases. The central database for civic integration policy is the KBI or Crossroads Bank for Civic Integration. This administrative database contains information on the profiles of persons integrating and the actions undertaken during the primary integration programme. This database does not offer us any insight into the actions undertaken during the secondary integration programme or the socio-economie position of persons integrating. To gain insights into the effeetiveness of the various measures and the subsequent pathways followed by persons integrating, the databases need to be linked together. This will allow us for the first time to gain insights into the secondary pathways followed by persons integrating. These data include VDAB data (data on pathways to work), HVN (houses of Duteh) data (Ianguage courses), KSZ data (socio economic position). In the previous evaluation we worked with cohorts (2005 & 2007). In this evaluation we will work with cohorts again (2009 or 2010). This integrated database will form the basis for quantitative analyses in the areas of efficiency and effectiveness. This basic database is also available for use in analyses for the other parts of the policy research centre and it can be used to answer ad-hoc questions. We will link and explain the results of the quantitative analysis on differences in drop outs and progressions with qualitative data. By looking at processes and local practices we want to identify explaining factors and good practices. Driven by the quantitative data we will select some cases and conduct semi structured interviews with key figures and teachers in schools, VDAB and reception centres.

2.4.2.3

Module 3: The impact of Dutch language courses on social participation

Learning to understand and speak the language of the recipient society is generally considered as an important part of the integration process. Not only would this contribute to the independenee of the migrant within this society, it would also increase social interaction and social participation and th us strengthen processes of social cohesion. Learning the Dutch language is therefore very important for the Flemish government and ample government resources are invested. Researching the impact of taking Dutch language courses on the social functioning and participation of migrants, is necessary to explore the efficiency and effeetiveness of these government investments, along with the realization of the policy goals. Optimizing processes of language acquisition in relation to social participation are necessary for the realization of policy goals

35

regarding integration and will lead to higher levels of independence of migrants within the society and to increased social cohesion. Centra I research questions are: o

How and in what way do migrants experience an impact of taken a Dutch language course when engaging in social contact and participating in social activities? Are there other factors contributing to these social processes?

o

What kind of social networks have migrants at their disposal? In what way has taken a Dutch language course contributed to the construction of these social networks? Which other factors have contributed to this?

o

How do migrants interact with their social environment? What kind of social contacts do migrants have with their neighbours, the school of their children, social clubs and organizations? In what language do they interact? How extensive are these social interactions?

o

To what extend is the social impact of taken a Dutch language course increased by taking higher level courses?

Methodological approach: The impact of taking Dutch language courses on social functioning and participation will be explored using qualitative methods, particularly the case study approach. The perspective of migrants as weil as the perspective of stakeholders in the different social domains will be depicted. To explore the perspective of the migrants, different views will be taken into account: participants of the basic level, participants of higher levels and non-participants. Social functioning will be mapped, among other things, based on the interethnic contacts migrants maintain. The case study approach comprises mapping out these social networks of 15 respondents: 5 respondents not having taken a Dutch language course and 10 respondents having taken a Dutch language course. The last group will consist of 5 participants ofthe basic level and 5 participants of higher levels. Time plan: This work package will take up 5 months (100% FTE in 2014) 1 FTE junior researcher, O,25FTE research managerjsenior researcher The study consists of the following phases: Literature study, field exploration, defining the social domains to be explored Selection of 15 respondentsjcases Developing semi structured questionnaires and research instruments for mapping the social networks of the selected cases Data collection: interviewing respondents and stakeholders within the specified social domains Reporting Oeliverables: Research report Presentation research results for Flemish Agency for Internal Affairs and Civic Integration Policy Presentation research results for civil society organizations and stakeholders Communication through communication plan Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration (e-zine, website, policy briefs)

Module 4: Mapping and assessing pathways to work

The most widely recognized indicator for successful integration is linked to the participation of migrants in the labour market. Successfullabour market participation is often defined as having paid employment (Entzinger& Biezeveld:19, 2003). Flanders performs very poorly in international comparisons in terms of labour market participation by migrants. The same is also true of persons integrating; only 32.7% of newcomers are at work after a couple of years (Lamberts &Pauwels, 2010). Nevertheless, newcomers can benefit from a highly developed range of pathways to work at VDAB (PES). The evaluation carried out in 2007 showed that, by estimation, only half of the newcomers progress to a pathway to work (De Cuyper: 2010). This raises the following questions: The aim of this work package is to map the pathways to work and analyse the effe cts on labour market position. Central research questions are: o

How many newcomers progress to a secondary pathway to work? What is the profile of the target group who progress to secondary pathways to work? To what extent do these vary from those who do not progress?

o

Are there local differences in progression and methodology to secondary pathways? What

o

What is the labour market position of 'non-progressors' and 'progressors'? To what extent can

practices can account for these? non-progression be explained by finding employment? Is the employment durable?

What do

secondary pathways look like? How effective are they? Does language promotion and language policy within companies enhance the effectivity of the secondary pathways? What mix of tools is most effective? Methodological approach: We will use the same methodology as in WP module 2 linking the analysis of quantitative data in the integrated database to concrete practices in the field. In addition to the quantitative data we conduct semi-structured interviews with 10 counsellors at VDAB and the reception centres. We will possibly co-operate with the CELM. If necessary they will offer support for drafting data requests, for the compilation of reference populations and for the use of contextual indicators.

Werkpakket 4: Ad hoc opdrachten - Work package 4: Ad hoc assignments

A budget is available for short-term and focused projects in the area of policy preparation, vision development, monitoring and policy evaluation. The ad hoc research requests are directed to the coordinator of this WP. We pro pose that the budget will in first instance be allocated according to the priorities of the steering group. If desired, requests from third parties such as reception bureaus, HVN, VDAB, VLEMI etc. can also be approved. This would of course take place in close consultation with the steering group.

In addition, the

coordinator, in dialogue with the coordinators of the WP's, will suggest potential research subjects. The coordinator will be responsible for the allocation of the research tasks, taking into account the expertise and availability of staff among the partners.

38

The coordinator is then responsible for

follow-up and qua/ity control, and wil! pay particular attention to ensure that the output is po/icyoriented. The projects wil I be carried out by partners in the Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration in accordance with their expertise and experience of policy-oriented research. This is budgeted in WP4 at 75,900 euro in 2012 and 2013, and at 80,740 euro in 2014 en 2015 (staff, direct costs and overhead included). Within this budget it is possible to hire external experts to give specific advice on well-defined topics or for qua/ity checking of the finished project; an annual budget of 7,500 euro is reserved.

4.1.1.2

Promotoren

De promotoren zijn de aanspreekpunten en academisch verantwoordelijken voor de instellingen waartoe ze behoren (CEMIS, SEIN, HIVA, SDL). Ze zijn medeverantwoordelijk voor de academische kwaliteit van de geleverde output.

4.1.1.3

De programma-coördinator

De programma-coördinator is verantwoordelijk voor de dagelijkse leiding van het steunpunt en de realisatie van het PreCI onderzoeksplan. Naast het dagelijks beheer van het steunpunt bewaakt hij de transversaliteit tussen de verschillende werkpakketten, coördineert de van valorisatie en disseminatie (website, e-nieuwsbrief, seminaries, colloquia, publicatiebeleid ... ), bevordert de samenwerking tussen onderzoekers, stimuleert en staat

44

mee in voor de (academische) valorisatie van de onderzoeksresultaten. Hij doet daarnaast aan wetenschappelijke netwerking, zoekt naar mogelijke synergieën met andere steunpunten en trekt onderzoek aan dat aansluit bij de verschillende werkpakketten.

4.1.1.4

De coördinatoren van de werkpakketten (WP'sJ

De coördinatoren van de werkpakketten zijn verantwoordelijk voor de uitvoering van het werkprogramma in hun respectievelijke onderzoeksdomein. Ze worden belast met de volgende (minimale) opdrachten: opstelling van een gedetailleerd 'jaarlijks onderzoeksprogramma; jaarlijkse bijdragen aan de opstelling van

het jaarplan

en jaarverslag,

en de eventuele bijsturing van

het

meerjarenprogramma zoals bepaald in de Beheersovereenkomst, inhoudelijke en methodologische uitwerking van het onderzoek, kwaliteitscontrole van de wetenschappelijke output, planning van de wetenschappelijke rapportering, bepaling van de personeelsallocatie, begeleiding en bijscholingsinitiatieven voor het personeel, jaarlijkse bijdragen aan de opstelling van een begroting en jaarrekening zoals bepaald in de Beheersovereenkomst; tussentijdse opvolging hiervan en

bij~sturing

van het financieel

beheer waar nodig.

4.1.2 4.1.2.1

Overlegstructuren Stuurgroep

De stuurgroep wordt samengesteld door de opdrachtgevers; zijn bevoegdheden en werkwijze worden vastgelegd in de beheersovereenkomst. Vanuit het consortium bevelen we aan dat alle promotoren en coördinatoren van de werkpakketten van het Steunpunt, uitgenodigd worden op de vergaderingen. Dit verhoogt sterk de betrokkenheid en verbetert de communicatie met alle medeverantwoordelijken. Binnen de stuurgroep kan eventueel geopteerd worden voor thematische werkgroepen waarin zowel academische experten, beleidsmakers als actoren op het werkveld zetelen.

4.1.2.2

Dagelijks Bestuur

Het algemeen beheer van het Steunpunt gebeurt door een Dagelijks Bestuur (DB) bestaande uit de promotor-coördinator, de promotoren, de programma coördinator en de WP coördinatoren. Deze groep komt driemaandelijks samen om de inhoudelijke, financiële en administratieve werking te bewaken, de organisatie van gemeenschappelijke evenementen en workshops te plannen, en het takenpakket van de centrale dienstverlening mee op te volgen. Ook de contacten met de stuurgroep worden hier voorbereid en opgevolgd. Concreet betekent dit gezamenlijke beslissingsbevoegdheid en verantwoordelijkheid over

4S

uitvoering van het beheerscontract en de samenwerkingsovereenkomst,

opstelling van een huishoudelijk reglement, jaarlijkse programmering en begroting, financieel beheer en tussentijdse begrotingscontrole, administratieve rapportering Oaarverslag en jaarrekening},

contracten met derden.

4.1.2.3

Independent expert committee

Het independent expert committee komt eenmaal per jaar samen en wordt voorgezeten door de promotor-coordinator van het consortium. Het steunpunt brengt daarbij verslag uit van de werkzaamheden. De academici in het independent expert committee zijn telkens experten binnen hun eigen vakgebied en daarnaast vaak ook betrokken bij andere steunpunten beleidsrelevant onderzoek. Het committee fungeert als onafhankelijk academisch klankbord en kunnen gevraagd worden om lid te worden van project-specifieke stuurgroepen. Daarnaast kan binnen dit committee naar mogelijke dwarsverbanden worden gezocht met andere steunpunten.

4.2 4.2.1

HRM beleid Barema's

Het wetenschappelijk en administratief personeel dat werkt voor het steunpunt wordt vergoed overeenkomstig de barema's die geldig zijn bij hun werkgevers.

4.2.2

Werving en selectie van medewerkers

Het initiatief voor een vacature gaat uit van de promotors of coördinatoren binnen de verschillende werkpakketten. Voor werving worden verschillende gespecialiseerde en brede kanalen ingezet. Een specifiek kanaal is bijvoorbeeld campus recrutering, door het feit dat het HIVA en CEMIS nauwe contacten bewaren met professoren en docenten of vaak zelf professor of docent zijn in de disciplines waarin onderzoek wordt verricht, is gerichte selectie mogelijk. Alle ingezonden kandidaturen worden geselecteerd op basis van formele criteria (aard van diploma, minstens twee onderscheidingen behaald, en desgevallend relevante onderzoekservaring). De weerhouden kandidaten worden uitgenodigd voor een sollicitatiegesprek en leggen aanvullend een schriftelijke proef af (bv. een casus van een onderzoeksprobleem, een methodologisch vraagstuk). Door deze gestandaardiseerde aanpak wordt het nodige kwaliteitsniveau bij aanwervingen gegarandeerd.

46

4.2.3

Inhoudelijke begeleiding

De inhoudelijke begeleiding (zowel wetenschappelijk als naar beleidsrelevantie) behoort uiteraard in de eerste plaats tot de taken van verantwoordelijken van de verschillende werkpakketten. Ze volgen de werkzaamheden niet alleen praktisch op, maar geven ook inhoudelijk feedback. 4.2.4

Vorming en training

De medewerkers worden gestimuleerd gebruik te maken van het ruime opleidingsaanbod binnen hun respectievelijke instelling inzake specifieke en algemene vaardigheden. Het kan gaan om generieke vaardigheden (time management, snellezen, presenteren ... ) als technische competenties (cursussen SAS, SPSS, Nvivo, statistische methoden ... ) De participatie hieraan wordt bepaald in onderling overleg tussen projectmedewerker en coördinator van het werkpakket. Inhoudelijk kunnen medewerkers terecht bij een uitgebreid aanbod van conferenties, seminaries en workshops op de terreinen van inburgering en integratie. Deelname aan internationale conferenties wordt daarbij gestimuleerd. Om een geïntegreerde werking te bevorderen, worden gemeenschappelijke seminaries binnen het steunpunt georganiseerd over inhoudelijke en methodologische onderwerpen. De programmacoördinator speelt hierbij de rol van facilitator. Hierbij kunnen externe deskundigen worden betrokken, het gaan dan zowel om beleidsmakers, uitvoeringsactoren als academici. Deze seminaries kunnen dus zowel over wetenschappelijke maar ook over beleidsvragen gaan. Een laatste bron van leren is gesitueerd op de dagelijkse werkvloer en komt tot stand via gestructureerde en informele vormen van kennisdeling, uitwisseling van bronnen, evaluatie van projecten en coaching.

4.3 4.3.1

Financieel beheer Verdeling van de middelen

Er worden afzonderlijke kredietlijnen geopend worden per entiteit en per werkpakket (en desgewenst per specifiek project), met onderscheid tussen personeel, werking, onderaanneming en overhead.

4.3.2

Beheersverantwoordelijkheid

Hiervoor geldt een getrapt systeem van verantwoordelijkheden, beginnend bij de promotoren, via de promotor-coördinator en het centraal secretariaat tot bij het Dagelijks Bestuur (DB). De verschillende deelnemende entiteiten moeten elk een afzonderlijke boekhouding voeren voor de hen toegewezen middelen. Ze moeten de rekeningen bijhouden volgens een gemeenschappelijke minimum-indeling, en de bewijsstukken voor de vorderingen voorleggen. In het geval van ge poolde middelen voert de coördinerende onderzoekseenheid de boekhouding.

47

Het centrale secretariaat zorgt voor een integratie van alle deelboekhoudingen in een geconsolideerde boekhouding. Er wordt een kalender opgesteld voor de integratie van de rekeningen per

onder~zoeksdomein

en over de onderzoeksdomeinen heen. Hierdoor kan voor het

gehele steunpunt een jaarbalans worden opgemaakt en een resultatenrekening: inkomsten en uitgaven aan personeel, werking en investering. Het DB keurt de geïntegreerde rekeningen en begrotingen goed vóórdat deze worden voorgelegd aan de Stuurgroep. In de zomer en in het najaar van elk jaar houdt het DB een begrotingscontrole en maakt het afspraken over eventuele overdrachten.

4.4

logistieke organisatie

Elke deelnemende entiteit is verantwoordelijk voor de logistieke ondersteuning van haar werkpakketten.

4.5

Doctoraatsopleiding

51

Medewerkers van het steunpunt die in het kader van het onderzoek binnen het steunpunt een doctoraat maken, genieten de doctoraatsopleiding van de Universiteit Antwerpen. Deze opleiding beoogt de kennis en vaardigheden van de onderzoeker binnen en buiten zijn of haar discipline en onderzoeksdomein te verdiepen en te verbreden. Ook het stimuleren van de mondelinge en schriftelijke (interdisciplinaire) communicatie tussen onderzoekers onderling en tussen onderzoekers en de maatschappij is een aandachtspunt. De invulling van de doctoraatsopleiding is flexibel en wordt gestuurd door de vraag van de doctorandus en door het deels verplichte aanbod vanuit de faculteiten en vanuit de universiteit. De universiteit biedt in dit kader opleidingkredieten aan haar doctorandi aan. Nieuwe Media Dienst Medewerkers van het steunpunt kunnen bij de Nieuwe Media Dienst (NMD) van de Universiteit Antwerpen terecht voor de productie van nieuwe media en het gebruik van de audiovisuele infrastructuur in de leslokalen. Er is een afdeling van de Nieuwe Media Dienst (NMD) op elke campus. De NMD maakt deel uit van het Departement ICT. De NMD kan ook in staan voor grafische producten zoals: drukwerk, affiches, folders en uitnodigingen voor congressen, grafisch werk voor wetenschappelijke

publicaties.

Universiteitsbibliotheek Het steunpunt en zijn onderzoekers kunnen gebruik maken van het netwerk van UGent-bibliotheken bestaat uit de Universiteitsbibliotheek als centrale eenheid, 9 faculteitsbibliotheken en een 200-tal vakgroep- en seminariebibliotheken, verspreid in en rond Gent. In 2004 werd een plan tot reorganisatie goedgekeurd dat voorziet in een samensmelting van de vele, kleine bibliotheken tot grotere

eenheden.

Die vertaalt zich in vier deelopdrachten, vier duidelijk onderscheiden missies die toch onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn. •

Als DIGITALE BIBLIOTHEEK is ze de gids voor de bibliotheekgebruiker in de elektronische wereld van de wetenschappelijke communicatie en het culturele erfgoed. Het is haar taak om het volledige elektronische aanbod van UGent bereikbaar te maken voor alle UGent-gebruikers. De digitale

bibliotheek

geeft

toegang

tot

duizenden elektronische

tijdschriften en

geselecteerde databanken. Daarnaast wordt de erfgoedcollectie van UGent gedigitaliseerd en gecatalogiseerd, om ze op die manier zichtbaar te maken voor de hele wereld. "

Als BEWAARBIBLIOTHEEK is de Boekentoren de schatbewaarder van het rijke culturele erfgoed dat aan

de

universiteit werd

opgebouwd

en

dat

haar werd toevertrouwd.

Het

is

die erfgoedcollectie (oude manuscripten, unieke uitgaven, atlaskaarten, foto's, efemera, ... ) die de Universiteitsbibliotheek van Gent onderscheidt van de meeste andere universiteitsbibliotheken. Die collectie wordt beheerd, gerestaureerd en optimaal bewaard voor onderzoek en studie. Tegelijk fungeert de Boekentoren als depot voor UGent-coliecties, zowel van niet-courant gebruikte werken als van gedrukte tijdschriften. Bovendien wil de bewaarbibliotheek een deel van de erfgoedcollectie ontsluiten voor een breder publiek, door beeldmateriaal en boeken te digitaliseren en catalogiseren. Daarmee draagt ze niet alleen bij tot de opdracht van de Universiteitsbibliotheek, maar kan ze ook de maatschappelijke uitstraling van UGent verruimen. ..

De Universiteitsbibliotheek is ook de kern van EEN NETWERK. Voor alle universitaire bibliotheken, van faculteiten en vakgroepen, is ze de verbindende factor, die alle informatie en documentatie op een gestructureerde manier verzamelt en op een georganiseerde manier ter beschikking stelt van de gebruikers en die opleidingen en trainingen geeft.

Tot slot, maar niet in het minst, is de Universiteitsbibliotheek een inspirerend STUDIELANDSCHAP. Studenten en vorsers kunnen er werken in een open en vrij toegankelijke ruimte, gevestigd in een uniek en tijdloos bibliotheekgebouw.

Locaties en organisatie van bijeenkomsten De universiteit biedt u de mogelijkheid bepaalde universitaire lokalen te gebruiken voor het organiseren van congressen en andere activiteiten. In het historische cultuur- en congrescentrum Het Pand kunnen interne en externe partijen terecht voor de organisatie van congressen. U vindt hier ook een cateringdienst en gastronomisch restaurant. UGent-diensten, studentenverenigingen en derden kunnen voor het reserveren en huren van auditoria en andere lokalen zoals de Aula terecht bij het Centraal Auditoriumbeheer.

Wetenschapscommunicatie De dienst communicatie van de Universiteit Gent is beschikbaar voor het steunpunt, en adviseert en ondersteunt bij de communicatie van wetenschappelijke informatie en onderzoeksresultaten naar het publiek. Ook ondersteuning bieden bij een evenementorganisatie, het mee uitdenken van communicatie-acties, de keuze van communicatiekanalen en het (her)schrijven van teksten behoort tot de opdracht. Ondersteuning op het juridische vlak bij communicatie van resultaten wordt ook geboden.

Doctoraatsopleiding Bij het eventueel maken van een doctoraat binnen de opdracht van het steunpunt kan de medewerker een beroep doen op de doctoraatsopleiding van de Universiteit Gent. Vijf Doctoral Schools ondersteunen het doctoraatsgebeuren aan de UGent: Doctoral School of Arts, Humanities and Law, Doctoral School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Doctoral School of Natural Sciences, Doctoral School of Life Sciences and Medicine, Doctoral School of (Bioscience) Engineering. Elk van deze Doctoral Schools wil: ..

de internationale uitstraling van het doctoraat vergroten ten aanzien van potentiële onderzoekers én ten aanzien van de arbeidsmarkt;

•

de ondersteuning van doctorandi tijdens hun onderzoek verbeteren;

..

de kwaliteitscultuur in het (doctoraats)onderzoek stimuleren.

De faculteit blijft verantwoordelijk voor de toelating tot het doctoraat, het examineren van het proefschrift en het uitreiken van het doctoraatsdiploma. De Doctoral School zal vooral ondersteunen tijdens het doctoraatsonderzoek. De doctoraatsopleiding Universiteit Gent is een flexibel opleidingsprogramma, dat bestaat uit 5 com ponenten : "

Communicatiestrategie - Communication strategy Doelstellingen - Objectives

Effective communieation requires a strategy that appears as a coherent plan of action. The presented communieation strategy comprises the total period of the Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration. It iIIustrates how the Policy Research Centre on Civie Integration designs its relations with all parties concerned such as policy makers at the various poliey levels in Flanders, academies, civil society organisations, the media and the general publie - and how the aims of the centre can be achieved. A communieation strategy serves the general and specifie aims as weil as the results of the Poliey Research Centre on Civic Integration. Communication is not a goal in itself but is a means to support, inform and even influence. The communieation objectives of therefore align to the organisation objectives and will focus on how to: disseminate research findings; identify policy relevant findings; formulate recommendations for policy makers; inform stakeholders and opinion makers (such as journalists) with subtie and nuanced research findings on (the processes of) civie integration of various immigrant groups; make (the activities and research findings of) the centre visible; stimulate further research; networking; agenda-setting at various levels (Iocal and regional); stimulate an increased public awareness among the general public in the issues of (the consequences of) immigration and civic integration.

6.2

Doelpublieken - Target audiences

As a policy research centre, it will make available its research findings and insights in a clear and concise way to various audiences who are interested in the issue of civic integration, also ca lied stakeholders. In order to ensure communieation, the content of each communieation is adapted to the respective audience. It is important to identify from the start of the policy research centre the various target audiences relevant for the centre. Main target audiences to be identified are:

e.g. ministers and members of their cabinet, members of policy • parliament, staff members of the administration of the Flemish government . International

. Member

of

the

EU

institutions

and

international.

policy makers

organizations.

Academic world

e.g. colleagues at other policy research centres, universities and institutes for higher education (in Flanders, in Belgium and at international level).

S9

Civil society

e.g. staff members from various (civil society) organisations (NGO's,

trade

unions,

interest

groups,

employers'

.• organisations) .

Mass and social e.g. journalists, columnists, bloggers, and other news and media opinion makers. As the policy Research Centre on Civic Integration is a consortium of major academie players in the field of migration and integration research, the centre can count on the existing (inter)national networks (in which academies, policy makers and civil society organizations are weil represented) of the participating institutions. Networks in which the promoters participate are listed in part 4 of this proposal. Furthermore, HIVA, SDL, SEIN and CeMIS have established working relationships through still ongoing research projects (we refer to part 6 of this proposal, in which a selection of recent and major research activities of the participating institutions are listed) and dissemination activities (especially the triennial Flemish conference of CeMIS is worth mentioning). The Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration can therefore make use of an elaborated network of actors in the field

of migration and integration. As a crucial step in its communication strategy, the centre will, based on the above mentioned networks, develop a database of stakeholders and identify crucial target audiences who wil I be informed at regular intervals and through social and interactive media ofthe centre's deliverables. It is evident that this process will start soon after the official formation of the Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration. One of the advantages of underscoring different target audiences is that communication can be adapted to the particular target audiences. For instanee, at request the centre can provide fact sheets or briefs adapted to the particular information needs of the respective target audiencejstakeholders. Especially the Flemish government is encouraged to make use of this possibility.

6.3

Dissiminatiemethodes - Methods of dissemination

Dissemination of research results in scientific, civil society and policy circles ensures that new evidence is spread in society and contributes to informed decision making. Dissemination of research results is often considered the final phase of the research process. This is only partly true, as indicated in the previous paragraphs, a descent communication strategy starts at the beginning of the project (for instance by knowing and identifying stakeholders and target audiences). In order to facilitate the dissemination process, researchers will be trained in dissemination and valorisation techniques so that they will be able to communicate their scientific knowledge la the various target audiences. The centre will as of its creation develop a website and templates for the fact sheets, policy briefs and E-zine. These templates will assist researchers to translate research findings in recommendations and briefs for the various target audiences. Furthermore, different people and target groups prefer different communication methods. In this paragraph we describe the methodology the Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration will use to

60

communicate its findings to the target audiences. The figure below provides a concise overview, specific dissemination tools are categorized in three main areas of communication: 1) interactive interventions, 2) social and interactive media and 3) leave behinds.

Interactive interventions- notwithstanding the increased influence of electronic communication tools, interactive interventions (or in other words face to face communication) remain a unique and indispensable communication tooI. the Policy Research Centre on Civic Integration will use various opportunities to communicate its findings through these interventions:

Conferences and seminars

Conferences and seminars are crucial communication methods in the academic world to inform colleagues about research results, interesting findings, (new) methodology used and new research. As a member of the

academic world,

the

centre

will

use this

communication channel to make its research known to the academie

wor/d and team members will participate in (inter)national conferences and seminars. The centre will also organise seminars

and one major conference. Meetings/debates

The centre's team members will provide their insights in meetings

and debates with various stakeholders and target audiences in order to feed discussion and to provide scientific input in the

61

contextualisation of (the consequences of) civic integration issues.

Formol presentations

Making presentations is an inherent part of the research process. The centre will ensure that research findings are presented in workshops, scientific conferences and seminars to academie colleagues and stakeholders.

Informal briefings

Informal communication should be used as a means for exchanging ideas and getting relevant issues on the agenda. Through its network, The centre will communicate regularly with stakeholders in order to

discuss relevant and remarkobie findings and to challenge the research findings based on experiences of field workers, media reports and decision making. This way, researchers wi/l remain informed about issues at stake for the stakeholders and stakeholders will be able to get a better understanding of findings that may in the first place look like contradicting their experience. Furthermore, informal discussions often lead to interesting new

research questions as stakeholders can highlight social phenomena that are not necessarily visible to researchers. In other words, informal communication is an ideal way to bridge the gap between researchers, civil society organisations and policy makers.

leave behinds - it goes without saying that printed communication tools are imperative. Not only do they allow creating a carefully controlled message that stat es just what you want to state and tells only what you want to teil. Leave behinds are needed for references and to remind target audiences of the research content. The centre will use the below-mentioned printed communication tools:

Factsheets

Each report will generate a factsheet, consisting of the key concept and messages Special fact sheets will also focus on transversal issues and intersection between research lines. These fa ct sheets willbe made available in Dutch and English. Researchers are in charge of the content (both in Dutch and English) of the fact sheets.

Policy briefs

At regular intervals and especially destined to policy makers, specific policy

briefs

will

summarize

innovative

and

noteworthy

policy

recommendations. The policy briefs will be made available in Dutch and English.

Researchers are in charge of formulating policy briefs on the

basis of their findings and recommendations and of translating these briefs in English.

Social and interactive electronic media- A whole range of technologies support modern communication. The centre will use the following electronic tools: E-zine

The centre will disseminate an electronic news brief or E-zine to inform the

62

target audiences of the upcoming activities, new research, recently, finished. Projects and other relevant or worthy information. The E-zine will provide space for message from stakeholders. Website

The centre will develop a website in Dutch and English.

Mailing

As mentioned before, a database of stakeholders and target audiences will be created, the E-zine and other electronic information will be send to the mailing list. The website will provide an opportunity to subscribe to the mailing list.

Email

Outgoing emails of all members of the centre contain a signature with contact details and is illustrated with the centre's logo.

E-sheets

The fact sheets will be available in an electronic version on the website in both Dutch and English.

E-reports

The research reports will be available in an electronic version on the website.

6.4

Oeliverables

The centre's deliverables are the tangibles results of the centre. Each research line will produce specific deliverables. In general, the centre will elaborate the below mentioned types of deliverables.

Research publications

Each research project will result in a published report.

Annual reports

The annual report will provide a concise overview of the centre's activities, results, ongoing process and future plans.

Publications in local, national and international journals

As an academie institution the centre is entitled to publish (peerreviewed) articles in (inter)national journais. As a policy research centre, it will also provide articles for (national) policy journals and journals of civil society organisations.
