An analysis of Dual Career and Integration Services
This report was created in the framework of the EURAXESS TOP III project (2015-2018), funded by the EC under the Horizon 2020 programme under the task lead of the University of Copenhagen (UCPH). The information gathered in the report has been submitted by a Dual Career and Integration Services Expert Group, encompassing of representatives from European institutions and universities from six countries; Austria, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland. The goal of this report is to analyse and map the landscape of DCIS in the six countries as well as exchange knowledge of best practice examples in order to develop and improve the services based on the needs of each institution. The final outcome of the report presents the expert group’s findings, as well as recommendations bearing in mind the national and local context.

A modularly structured training programme for the labour integration of refugee researchers
This training programme structure was put together in order to provide more support to refugee researchers (RRs) who take to Europe for protection, supporting quick labour integration with an emphasis on qualified employment inside and outside of research as well as entrepreneurship. It is primarily aimed at the staff of EURAXESS network members who already provide a variety of services to international researchers and takes the form of additional training, instructions and education on selected skills and topics that will refine and focus already existing counselling proficiency.
The goal of the programme is to foster the personal agency of RRs and enable them to make the best use of not only their existing skills and professional experiences, but also of the relevant resources that are available to them in the host country.
