Migration-related risks caused by misconception of opportunities and requirement

Immigration is a complex and multifaceted issue. While much attention has been devoted in recent years to how Europeans perceive migration, less attention has been given to how prospective migrants perceive Europe. Many times, the image they have of Europe does not reflect reality. The EU-funded MIRROR project will develop an integrated platform, tools and a systematic methodology to detect discrepancies between perception and reality. It will analyze automated text, multimedia and social media networks. Solutions developed by the project will be validated with border agencies and policymakers.
