    What do we do?

    We Support our Members

    Members frequently contact our secretariat to express thanks for information-sharing, partnership-building and offering a place for reflection and a sounding board for new ideas.

    “This a great practice of sharing! Feels like ubuntu”

    “I know you do your best to offer huge opportunities to SIRIUS partners. I hope we can do our best !”

    “Thank you so much for your time and support. We love your feedback and innovative ways of working on the project.”

    We advocate at national and international levels

    We produced comparative research on national migrant policies across Europe and offered guidelines for the strategic implementation of policies at national and EU levels.

    We have working relationships with Members of the European Parliament and other high-level EU officials.

    We are recognized as an EU authority on education and were asked to submit the only piece focusing on education in the Foundation for European Studies Yearbook 2021. 

    We fundraise for National Activities

    More than 5 million Euros was fundraised since 2012 for various activities at the national and EU level

    We pursue expert research and undertake knowledge governance

    We produce a yearly report on Migrant Education across Europe – SIRIUS WATCH.

    SIRIUS is heavily cited in international research with eleven SIRIUS national member reports featured in UNESCO’s 2019 Global Education Monitoring report on Migration Displacement and Education.

    SIRIUS is named as an example of knowledge governance in 2017 OECD publication “Educational Research and Innovation, Pedagogical Knowledge and the Changing Nature of the Teaching Profession”

    We have initiated and consolidated a relationship with many authoritative bodies on education research including OECD to look deeper into refugee education across Europe and the European Commission serving as their primary source on migrant education in the EU.

    We foster peer learning across policy-makers and practitioners

    We promote peer learning opportunities across our network, connecting educators, researchers, migrant students and families, and policymakers to foster educational change and synergies between schools, communities, and decision-makers.
