The conference 'Researching Migration in Europe - Empirical research, theoretical and methodological challenges' took place in Vienna on September 19-22, 2010. During the conference, EUMARGINS' Scientific Coordinator Katrine Fangen chaired and gave introductory remarks to the discussion of session 5: 'Attitudes towards immigrants'.
The Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi) organised on September 8th 2010 a seminar about the report from the Open Society Institute entitled 'At Home in Europe Project: Muslims in Europe—A Report on 11 EU Cities'. Main findings and reflections on methodology were presented by researchers from the Open Society Institute. The report is based upon in-depth interviews with Muslims living in 11 cities in Europe. EUMARGINS' Scientific Coordinator Katrine Fangen was present in the seminar as lead critic/commentator of the report. She also talked about and drew parallels to the findings of the EUMARGINS research project.
We are happy to announce that the Ashgate Publishing Group has accepted to publish a book based upon the national context reviews and the transnational review resulting from the first phase of the EUMARGINS project. The forthcoming book will focus on barriers and bridges that young adults with immigrant background are facing in Europe today, and discuss their conditions for inclusion and exclusion.
The article 'Moralkontroll i Oslos innvandrergater' deals with the experiences that young Muslims have had of being commented upon negatively on the streets at Grønland (together with Tøyen, Grønland is an area of Oslo that has around 35 to 40 per cent of inhabitants with immigrant background). The comments come from adult Muslims. They react to western behaviour (like dress codes etc) being adapted among young Muslims.
More and more money can be accessed through the EU’s framework programme. The budget of the Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013) consists of 425 billion kroner. In order to receive such funding, the research must be exceptional. To receive EU-funding is, therefore, a stamp of quality for the project. “The University of Oslo will strengthen the support network surrounding those who wish to apply for EU-funding”, says University Director Gunn-Elin Aa. Bjørneboe.
The online newspaper of the University of Oslo,UNIFORUM, presents EUMARGINS.

On May 22-23, 2009, the final dissemination conference of the European Collaborative Research Project (FP6) TRESEGY will take place in Lleida in Barcelona. The full title of the project is "Toward a social construction of an European youth: the experience of inclusion and exclusion in the public sphere among second generation migrated teenagers". It is a project that has many parallells to EUMARGINS, both in terms of subject, methodology and localities. EUMARGINS' participants from France, Italy and Spain have been involved with TRESEGY and will participate in the conference. Findings from the project will be presented and discussed. EUMARGINS' Project Coordinator Katrine Fangen will also take part as keynote speaker.
