Description
The aim of the project was to successfully build the necessary guidelines and training materials that will allow practitioners and stakeholders to facilitate the smooth integration of students and scholars in Higher Education and society. It was implemented from 01-09-2016 until 31-10-2018 in Greece, Germany and the Netherlands. The Coordinator of the project was Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the consortium was composed by the University of Cologne, VU Amsterdam and the Greek Council for Refugees. It was a two-year KA2 Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership in the field of Higher Education granted by the Hellenic National Agency via the European Commission. S.U.C.RE. focused on the response of the Universities to the academic needs of refugees/migrants students and scholars and to the formation of good practices guidelines through the development of training modules addressed to the voluntary sector working in the field with the specific population. S.U.C.RE. was the outcome of the Erasmus+ Programme call which had been updated to address issues around social cohesion and the integration of refugees and migrants.

Reproducibility
S.U.C.RE. paid a lot of attention on disseminating its activities and deliverables around Europe and beyond using its database of more than 500 local, national and international stakeholders (including European Universities, relevant NGOs, municipal authorities, EU policy contact persons, refugee welcoming centers’ staff). It organised four highly successful multiplier events. Its members participated in 72 different dissemination activities (in many cases as invited speakers).
Motivation for the submission
The Project S.U.C.RE. is relevant to the IMMERSE project because it provided hope, empowerment and a sense of security for refugees, guidance for University staff, and support for practitioners in the field. It has also created new and strengthened existing ties among Universities and Stakeholders paving the way for future effective inclusion of refugees in Europe.
