 IMISCOE Network of Excellence on International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe.

 In March 2009, Jan Rath was elected to European ISC Co-Chair of the International Metropolis Network. The International Metropolis Project is a forum that bridges research, policy and practice on migration and diversity. The project aims to enhance academic research capacity, encourage policy-relevant research on migration and diversity issues, and facilitate the use of that research by governments and non-government organizations. The Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (Directorate General for Housing, Communities and Integration) supports the secretariat for the European Co-Chair position. The secretariat continues to be based at the IMES offices.
