The IOM Mission in Ukraine extends gratitude to all students who participated in the Student Works Contest “The Future of Migration in Ukraine”, which was carried out over May-October 2011.

IOM received a lot of works from all regions of Ukraine. Every work has undergone two stages of evaluation: by IOM specialists, representatives of the Government and experts from partner organizations, who were members of the Selection Committee. Anonymity and integrity of the assessment criteria were maintained at every stage of evaluation.

The Selection Committee has determined the winners of the Contest in the “Academic Essay” and “Article” categories. Congratulations to Mr. Tymur Demchuk for the academic essay “The Policy of Integration of “Non-Traditional” Immigrants in Ukraine” and Ms. Liliya Dergacheva for her article “The Potential of Internal Migration as Means of Establishing Intercultural Dialogue and Consolidation of a Nation”. The winners will be awarded on 12 October 2011 at the Conference “The Future of Migration in Ukraine”. Two winning works will be published on IOM's web-site.
