Background

Videnscenter for Integration (VIFIN, Resource Centre for Integration) was established in Autumn 2002, to respond to the gap created by the dissolution of government councils and boards, including those handling integration issues. The Centre’s target groups are ethnic minorities and those working in Counties, Municipalities, organisations and institutions involved in migrant integration. The Centre implements projects at the local, national and European levels.

A Board composed of representatives from: the Municipality of Vejle, the Danish Regions - Vejle County, the League of Municipalities in Vejle County, the Danish Employers Confederation, the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions and the Vejle Integration Council sets the Centre’s directions and objectives. The Mayor of Vejle sits as the Chairman of the Board. A Director runs the Centre’s day-to-day operation.
