Initially only a small number of initiatives in EUA’s Refugees Welcome Map explicitly stated that they are working together with other institutions, NGOs, municipalities, etc. Yet a year after the launch of the Map, a clear trend towards collaboration has emerged – be it through projects co-funded by national or European sources, or on their own initiative – universities are increasingly working together to share experiences and expertise, upscale their work, and increase impact.

The 2017 analysis carried out for the GPC showed that by now, most institutions are collaborating in one way or another. Enhancing peer-learning and upscaling is also at the core of the inHERE project: by building on the good practices of the GPC, it will roll out a series of staff training courses on specific aspects of integrating refugees into higher education.
