The European Programme for Integration and Migration (EPIM) has announced a call for research proposals that will provide the platform for a sub-fund that supports civil society organisations and public-private partnership projects seeking to address policy and practice issues arising from increasing arrivals of children and youth in Europe, and the struggle for communities to provide adequate protection as well as long-term perspectives for their life in Europe.

- Examine the links between the type of services/care children and youth on the move receive and the further development of their lives;
- Contribute to the impact evidence-base for interventions in the field which informs future funding decision-making of public and private funders.
