Expert-briefing event.

Immigration has shaped the societies of Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, but the socio-political integration of immigrant-origin citizens still lags behind. Under the premise that immigrant-origin citizens should have the same chances to get nominated as parliamentary candidates and to pursue a political career, REPCHANCE Europe investigates the paths of sitting immigrant-origin parliamentarians into politics and of those re-elected to their parliamentary career. Based on the analyses of both quantitative and qualitative data in five European countries, REPCHANCE Europe allows for a comparative view on the parliamentary representation of immigrant-origin citizens in the second decade of the 21st century.

Repchance Europe is funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation, Stiftung Mercator Schweiz and Porticus.
