Mit Hilfe eines algorithmengestützten Verfahrens haben wir diese Woche eine Gruppe von 26 ukrainischen Schutzsuchenden aus Polen erfolgreich mit den deutschen Kommunen gematcht und relocated.
The Re:Match project was profiled in a new WDR audio feature, including the project status in our partner municipality Düsseldorf and our goal to pilot a needs-based and individualized distribution mechanism using an algorithm.
Using an algorithm-based process, we successfully matched and relocated a group of 20 Ukrainian protection seekers from Poland with German municipalities this week.
The project Re:Match was presented in a new ZEIT ONLINE article: How can refugees in Germany be better distributed? Algorithms will soon help: People say what they need and the municipalities what they offer.
Our new project Re:Match aims to pilot an innovative model for a better, human rights-based and more sustainable distribution of protection seekers in Europe, thus providing a solution contribution to the current challenges in the reception and (European) redistribution of refugees from Ukraine.

These welcoming municipalities are growing in number and, together with the many civil society groups, they stand for a Europe of solidarity that respects human rights and takes responsibility for the protection of human lives.
Since 2015, talk of the supposed refugee crisis has been ubiquitous. According to UNHCR, by the end of 2020, more than 80 million people worldwide were fleeing, but most of them do not make it to Europe and remain in the Global South. In fact, the crisis is the lack of access to protection through regulated, safe routes to Europe.
70 Jahre nach Verabschiedung der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention steckt die europäische Asyl- und Migrationspolitik in einer Sackgasse. Dabei ist die Aufnahmebereitschaft der Städte und Kommunen in Europa groß. Ende Juni trafen sich Bürgermeister*innen unterschiedlicher europäischer Städte und Kommunen in Palermo, um bei der Konferenz „From the Sea to the City“ nach solidarischen Lösungen für die humanitäre...
