Researching and shaping migration and integration

The topics of migration and integration are determining societal discourse and leading to polarisations with regard to the issue of how co-existence within society can be structured. Equal opportunities in education and employment are important in terms of integrating people of different origins into society. All stakeholders in vocational education and training need to be involved in fostering this aim.
How can networking on policy objectives, academic research findings and experiences gained from practice contribute towards overcoming these societal challenges? The statements from ANNETTE WIDMANN-MAUZ, JAN SCHNEIDER and MARION WARTUMJAN illustrate perspectives and mutual expectations.
