The project is seeking to identify initiatives that provide information about local employment opportunities, offer personal support to potential returnees, or create networking opportunities. Fill in the online form to submit your contribution.

The ‘Welcome back’ research project is led by four Dutch provinces, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, and Groningen University.
