ITEM calls for participants of survey about international migrants in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine
Maastricht University researchers are currently calling for people to take part in a survey about the reasons for highly-skilled international migrants to come to live and/or work in Limburg (NL) or the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. By participating, you can help make internationals’ lives, like your own, in the region easier and increase the attractiveness of the region for internationals. This study is conducted by researchers at Maastricht University's Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross border cooperation and Mobility / ITEM and the Maastricht Graduate School of Governance | UNU-MERIT in cooperation with the Holland Expat Center South (HECS).
By participating in this survey, you can help Limburg and the Euregio Meuse-Rhine to further improve its attractiveness for international migrants. This is important for several reasons:
- to improve services targeted at international migrants that facilitate the process of settling, working and living in the region;
- to inform employers to attract and retain highly skilled migrants to fill skills shortages;
- to increase the presence of highly skilled people in the region, which can contribute to economic growth, innovation and an increased global competitiveness.
Data obtained through this survey is aimed to explore the factors explaining migration decisions and mobility intentions of highly skilled migrants who arrived in Dutch Limburg and the Euregio Meuse-Rhine during the past ten years. It focuses specifically on migrants' perceptions towards living in a border region.
Completing the questionnaire will take approximately 25 minutes.
