Immigration Policy 2.0

(Learn how and when to remove this template message)

Immigration Policy 2.0 is a European Union project that aims to facilitate the participation and involvement of immigrant citizens in immigration policies framed in the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Program (CIP)

The EU government organizations are developing new ways to be more effective in the control of 27 member countries migration flows. For this purpose, the objective of the project, which began in September 2010 and was completed in August 2013, was to centralize the concerns and demands of citizens through a digital platform to connect with the community through policies based on the development of collaborative processes.

Web 2.0, supported by modeling policies, manages to centralize services and process various demands through harmonized actions (user-friendly). These services aim to provide citizens with information to make decisions.

Strands of action

Strengthen government, politicians, and decision-making in order to work and collaborate based on immigration policies of the EU.
To facilitate the creation of social groups of legal immigrants in order to be informed and in turn, evaluate such policies based on the audit of public opinion.
Policy Adaptability: The project's emphasis on collaborative and adaptable policy development has allowed the European Union to respond more effectively to evolving migration challenges, such as refugee crises and changing labor market dynamics.

Manufacturers and Support Consortium

Immigration Policy 2.0 takes advantage of the benefits offered by technologies such as BPM (Business Process Modelling) or ICT (Information and Communications Technology) with partners like BOC Group (BPM), ATOS (social media technology) or Singular Logic (Middleware, Open Survey System and Databases).

Objectives

This European platform provides a common meeting point with services integrated by modulated processes. The information collected is stored in the cloud (hosts information) in order to be used for immigration law matters. Among its features are:

Decision making for the EU directives and municipal offices
Support Tools for immigration policies in the EU
Creating processes and procedures suitable for migration between countries
Creating and collecting civil documents

One of the keys to combating undocumented immigration is to find new ways of monitoring for the analysis of migration through the so-called Semantic Web. A barrier in the EU is the difference between legal policies adopted by each one of the countries on its borders.

The new era Web 2.0 based on collaboration and content of the citizens themselves, or the phenomenon of the decade, the explosion of social networks are analyzed by the EU in order to eradicate the gray economy, which experts currently estimate to be between 10% and 20% of gross domestic product (GDP) of the European Union. {reference?}
