The OPENMIN consortium held its Final consortium meeting in Geneva on 16 February 2026, hosted by the University of Neuchâtel / Nccr - on the move team.

The morning session focused on updates and discussions related to:
> WP1 — Consolidating and Expanding Existing Open Science and Open Data (OS/OD) Tools and Infrastructure;
> WP2 — Exploiting Existing Results to Generate New OS/OD Tools and Infrastructure;
> WP3 — Delineating the Strategy and Roadmap for a European Research Infrastructure on Migration Studies.

Consortium members reviewed progress, addressed ongoing challenges, shared insights on technical and strategic developments, and discussed key strategic options and pathways for establishing such a European Infrastructure.

The afternoon session was dedicated to an open dialogue between OPENMIN consortium members and invited representatives from Geneva-based international organizations (UNHCR and WHO) and NGOs, including DIAC (Permanence et Observatoire contre le racisme antimusulman en Suisse) and Le Laboratoire. The discussion focused on identifying and sharing concrete data needs, as well as practical and institutional constraints related to migration and migrant integration data.
