Re:Match Publications

In the 2023 pilot phase, Re:Match matched and relocated 78 Ukrainian protection seekers from Poland to six German municipalities using its specially developed algorithm.

The project is now publishing initial evaluation results and policy findings and recommendations in the form of two reports, which are available for download.

For a progressive and effective migration and asylum policy, we need more solidarity in the European Union
– with the people seeking protection as well as with the Member States where they first arrive.

To make this solidarity work in practice, the Berlin Governance Platform has piloted the “Re:Match – Relocation via Matching” project.

Through an innovative, algorithm-based process, protection seekers in EU external border states are matched with welcoming European municipalities on a needs-oriented and individualized basis. With this unique municipal and participatory approach, Re:Match contributes to strengthening relocations through tailor-made solutions with better integration results. Enhanced with this matching concept, EU member states could be won over for the implementation of relocations.
