About us

A knowledge hub on migrant integration in the Nordics

Integration Norden wants to help stakeholders in the Nordic countries in developing integration initiatives and policies and to work more closely together. The objective is to strengthen the possibilities for refugees and immigrants to become active members of society. We generate and disseminate research-based knowledge and collect examples of promising integration work from the Nordic countries.
