ReROOT Project

ReROOT | Arrival Infrastructures as Sites of Integration for Recent Newcomers 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. 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. Project Details This project is coordinated by Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Karel Arnaut of the Anthropology Department of KU Leuven. It runs from 2021-2025. Write to us info@rerootproject.eu.
