Our goals and services

Our goal is to provide academics, governments, international organisations and NGOs with information for research and evidence-based evaluation of public policies.

We do not offer information or counselling to individuals interested in acquiring the citizenship of a particular country and we do not encourage experts in our network to answer such requests.

EUDO Citizenship Integration Indicators
Immigrant integration in the broad sense refers to a condition of societal cohesion as well as to a process of inclusion of outsiders and newcomers. EUDO CITIZENSHIP develops Integration Indicators (CITINT) and collects data in order to measure, compare and explain integration outcomes across Europe. Our focus is on the socio-economic, political and cultural dimensions of the integration process, and data include two sets of indicators. The first set captures structural inclusion and participation of immigrants in the core socio-economic and political institutions of the society, such as language proficiency, labour market participation, occupational status, membership of a political party and social movement related activities. The second set of indicators measures attitudes related to social and political inclusion, such as interest in politics, trust in government and perception of discrimination.

EUDO CITINT presents descriptive data about differences in integration outcomes broken down by immigrant receiving societies as well as by immigrant sending countries. Comparative analyses focus on understanding the differences in integration outcomes between immigrant receiving societies as well as between immigrants categorized by individual characteristics. We have a particular interest in measuring the effect of citizenship acquisition on immigrant integration.

EUDO Citizenship Integration Indicators are coordinated by Maarten Vink, at consortium partner Maastricht University in cooperation with the research team at University College Dublin.
