What does the EMN do?

Firstly, the EMN responds to information needs through specific
Reports, Studies and Ad hoc -queries. EMN’s main products are annual reports on the development of immigration policy, annual reports on asylum and migration statistics, and various thematic reviews. In addition to these, the contact points may ask each other questions. The answers are summarised into an information package. Read more...

Secondly, the EMN collects and documents information in a
comparative manner. The annual reports, reviews and studies are publicly available in English on the international EMN website at http://emn.sarenet.es. Reports, reviews and studies may also be issued in a printed form. The reports by the Finnish contact point will be published also in Finnish. Read more...

Thirdly, the EMN has the task of establishing a multi-level network to aid its activities. To complement the pan-European network, each country will create their own national network, whose members consist of immigration-related government bodies, research institutions and civic organisations. A national network may participate in studies, reports and queries. At the same time the members obtain information on immigration research in other EU countries, as well as visibility to their own research activities. Read more...
