After a year of fieldwork and training building relationships with actors embedded within arrival infrastructures in the nine sites, Platform Building action research begins.

The ReROOT Toolkit collecting two years worth of insights from arrival infrastructure research begins to take shape and is tested by relevant stakeholders.

The ReROOT Toolkit is disseminated to civil society actors and policy makers through trainings and workshops. Final policy recommendations are formulated and the project hosts its concluding event.
ReROOT is a Horizon2020 research project consisting of six universities, two research institutes, and two NGOS running from 2021-2025. The project uses ethnographic methods to study the challenges and opportunities migrants encounter on arrival in specific arrival situations in eight countries (Belgium, Turkey, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Greece, UK). ReROOT focuses on ‘arrival infrastructure’ - how newcomers source shelter, support and resources upon arrival in a place. From informal social connections to formal support organisations; from public spaces to libraries, shops or health centres, ‘arrival infrastructure’ shapes migrants’ pathways after arrival and affects how quickly and successfully they can achieve their goals, whether to settle or move on.
