Each year, IDOS researchers produce a statistical report on immigration and asylum in Italy called Dossier Statistico Immigrazione (next issue: IDOS Pub., Rome, October 2017). This book, about 500 pages, is published in 10,000 copies and distributed throughout all Italy. In occasion of the 2003 Italian Presidency semester of the EU, in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the National Council for Economics and Labour (CNEL), an English edition was also published (Contemporary Migration in Italy. Current trends and future prospects, Nuova Anterem Pub., Rome, September 2003). Moreover, few years later, always in cooperation with IOM, IDOS has edited a book about 60 years of immigration flows in Italy (1951-2011. Migration in Italy between past and future, IDOS Pub., Roma 2012).
From the end of 2002 to March 2014 IDOS was chosen by the Ministry of Interior as technical support of the National Contact Point at the European Migration Network of the European Commission, due to the capacity to gather and analyze information and data on migration and asylum at national level. Twenty-four comparative studies have been uploaded on the EU website www.emn.europa.eu and 3 pilot studies and 7 bilingual reports have been published (last issue: Migrants and social security. Seventh EMN Italy Report, IDOS Pub., Rome, March 2014). An Italian edition of the Emn Glossary on Asylum and Migration has also been finalized in 2011 (Glossario Emn Migrazione e Asilo, IDOS Pub., Rome, July 2011) as well as an Arabic edition in 2013 (IDOS-Sinnos Pub., 2013). For the National Council for Economics and Labour (CNEL), IDOS has implemented an immigration database (CnelStats) and produced a yearly report on Indices of territorial integration of immigrants in Italy, in which, through a system of original indicators and indices, the researchers apply a methodology in order to measure the different levels of social, cultural and employment insertion of foreigners in various regions of Italy. Among the reports uploaded on the website www.cnel.it, the last output is: Cnel, Indici di integrazione degli immigrati in Italia. IX Rapporto, Cnel, Rome, July 2013. Within the same field of research, it is to underline also the report referring to the EU project INTI (bilingual version): IDOS Centro Studi e Ricerche, Measuring Integration. The Italian Case, IDOS Pub., Rome, March 2008. Actually (from January 2016 to January 2018), IDOS is the coordinator for Italy of the eMORE Project.The eMORE Project, co-financed by the European Commission, and implemented in 9 Member States, addresses the need to support the development/improvement of efficient monitoring and reporting mechanisms for online hate speech and hate crime and, in particular, the need to foster the integration between monitoring and reporting tools into a joint innovative knowledge model. Indeed, knowledge is the key-factor to implement efficient/effective multi-stakeholders initiatives to fight back against crime, but currently there is a “chronic lack of reliable and comprehensive data/information on hate crime” (OCSE, 2014). The synergy between monitoring and reporting is, therefore, essential to bridge this gap, and to develop a far-reaching knowledge-based framework.
