Sharing Experiences in Integrating displaced students (EXIL)

Sharing EXperiences in Integrating dispLaced students (EXIL) aims to improve the integration of refugee students in EU universities and business schools, as well as raising awareness of the role HEIs play in humanitarian crises. This project responds to the need for supporting displaced Ukrainian students continuing their studies in other European universities.

Project results include:

  • A report on the needs, expectations and constraints of refugee students
  • A collection of best practices on how universities have responded to the arrival of Ukrainian refugee students
  • Two guides for fostering safe and inclusive environments for refugee students (pedagogy and support services)
  • Sixteen podcasts and an expert discussion forum additionally contribute to the dialogue on the integration of refugee students in Europe.

EXIL is jointly managed by EFMD and Poznań University of Economics and Business (PL). It brings together European HEIs with different experiences in and approaches to welcoming refugees, including the Ukrainian Catholic University (UA), University College of Namur-Liège-Luxembourg (BE), Kaunas University of Technology (LT), Kozminski University (PL), New Bulgarian University (BG), and the Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University (FR).
