The importance of integration issues has become increasingly evident after the start of war in Ukraine, followed by the huge wave of refugees from Ukraine. Representatives of local governments, NGOs and state organisations in the Nordic-Baltic region will present the practical knowledge and basic data on immigration and integration in their home countries and organisations, followed by joint discussions. The conference will be held as a hybrid meeting, enabling physical and on-line participation.
