The Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration, Research panel in Berlin, Germany
The Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration is a research panel of nine experts who analyze trends and policy questions related to immigration. The group produces analysis and recommendations that government officials, authorities, and the public can use in their work and decisions.
The panel was founded in 2008 by private foundations to support research on immigration and integration. In December 2020 it became an advisory body funded and commissioned by the federal government.
The council studies how different groups in German society view migration and social change through its Integration Barometer survey. These findings reflect what people actually think about diversity and living together in their communities.
The research panel is based in Berlin where it conducts studies and publishes reports that government officials and experts can access. Its findings are shared publicly and released regularly through different channels and formats.
The panel gathers its insights directly from surveying different people across Germany rather than only from statistics or academic research. This approach captures real perspectives from citizens that might otherwise be overlooked in policy discussions.
