Accurate, timely, interoperable? Data management in the asylum procedure

Abstract

The study will cover different phases of the asylum procedure, beginning from the moment a person makes his or her asylum application until the first instance decision is made. It will focus, on the one hand, on data collected by various actors involved in the asylum procedure (e.g. border police registering an asylum application upon arrival; main authority for the asylum procedure; authorities responsible for unaccompanied minors etc.). On the other hand, the study will also cover data collected in the context of the asylum procedure but meant for other purposes than the asylum procedure itself (e.g. information on language skills used to better plan and coordinate integration and language courses; information on previous qualifications in order to smoothen labour market integration etc).
