New Members Appointed to the Vienna Integration Council

The City of Vienna has reorganized the Vienna Integration Council. Going forward, this advisory body is intended to integrate academic perspectives even more closely with practical experience. In addition to experts from the fields of research, education, labor market integration, and extremism prevention, Maryam Singh, project manager and expert at the Counseling Center for Migrants, is also part of the newly appointed Integration Council.

The Vienna Integration Council is tasked with advising the city on integration policy issues and providing input for the Vienna Integration Code and the Vienna Integration Mission Statement. The goal is to identify challenges in living together more precisely and to address them in a practical manner.

Maryam Singh brings many years of experience in labor market integration as well as in providing advice on immigration and residency law. Her work focuses on social and professional participation, particularly on empowering women and ensuring equal access to education, employment, and legal advice.

We are pleased to receive this recognition of our professional work and that perspectives drawn from our counseling practice are being incorporated into the further development of Vienna’s integration policy.
