SHARE was established on the basis that
although it is national governments
that are responsible for the selection
of resettled refugees, it is regional and
local authorities and their partners
that offer reception and integration
support once refugees have arrived.
The success of national refugee resettlement
programmes and of the Joint
EU Resettlement Programme - thus
depends on the commitment, ability
and partnerships of European cities,
municipalities and regions.
Know Reset 89 is a research project cofunded
by the European Commission
and carried out by the European
University Institute, in partnership
with the European Council on Refugees
and Exiles (ECRE). The project aims to
map and analyse the current policy
framework and practices in the area of
resettlement in the 27 Member States.
The SHARE network facilitates structured
dialogue, exchange of practice
and networking between cities and
regional actors and between experienced
and emerging resettlement
countries planning or considering
resettlement. SHARE is currently
hosted on the website of the European
Resettlement Network at www.resettlement.eu/page/share-project.
