The 10th edition of the Integrating Cities Conference “Inclusion for all. Empowering vulnerable migrants in cities” takes place at a time when European cities welcome a large number of Ukrainian refugees, highlighting once again the essential role that cities play in receiving vulnerable people in need of protection. Our high-level event is hosted by the City of Utrecht, within the framework of Eurocities project CONNECTION “CONNEcting Cities Towards Integration action.”
