  2. About EMILIE • Responds to current ‘crisis of multiculturalism’ and lack of common EU intellectual framework to discuss relevant challenges • Interdisciplinary project studying experiences of 9 EU member states with different experiences of migration & integration • Aim: elaborate an empirically grounded European theoretical model for multiculturalism that is • appropriate to the European experience & • relevant to addressing current crises

  3. Three case-studies in each EU member state Educational challenges posed by migration related diversity (including multicultural education and faith schools) Legal challenges with special reference to discrimination protection in workplace Political challenges with special focus on voting rights and civic participation How? EMILIE’s case studies Understand & compare 9 EU national experiences (policy solutions, models, value systems): • Belgium (CEDEM, Liege) • Denmark (Aarhus University) • France (INED, Paris) • Germany (European University Viadrina, Frankfurt a.O.) • Greece (ELIAMEP, Athens) • Latvia (Centre of Human Rights and Ethnic Studies, Riga) • Poland (Center for International Relations, Warsaw) • Spain (Universitat Popeu Fabra, Barcelona) • UK (University of Bristol)

  4. Research methods & approach • Each national case study will be critically analysed as to: • whether it offers a distinctive ‘model’ of immigrant incorporation • what value discourses the model is based on • Comparative analysis of the case studies: • value discourses • perceived value conflicts Objective: Identify the European dimensions of integrating diversity (value discourses, points of tension, best practices)

  5. Expected results & potential impact • EMILIE will offer concrete policy and cultural dialogue analysis • Provide policy recommendations at national and EU levels on cultural diversity • Engage directly with policy community and civil society to reflect on appropriate policy responses and values underpinning these policies that can be shared by whole society
