How is the EU measuring up when it comes to integrating newcomers to our societies? This event, organised by the EESC's permanent group on immigration and integration, aims to examine the success and lessons learned of integration and inclusion as an EU policy as well as a reality facing many cities and regions in the EU.
Distinguished panels from EU policy, social partners, cities and think tanks will help answer this question.
