To increase its impact and dissemination, WELCOME involves the International Organization for Migration as subcontractor.<\/p>\n The Center for Security Studies (KEMEA) along with the abovementioned 14 organisations from 5 different countries that compose WELCOME Consortium, participated to the prementioned official kick-off meeting, where it shared and actively contributed by providing valuable input to the overall project, the different objectives, tasks, challenges and upcoming steps, through thorough discussions around the structural, managerial, and procedural issues of WELCOME project. During the upcoming years, KEMEA, as a research partner will take the lead of pilot use case creation and evaluation of the WELCOME technologies, actively also participating in several stages of the project.
