National perspectives on Integration'.  Thomas Huddleston, MPG's Policy Analyst, will speak on the workshop session: "Naturalization Evolving: a real path to citizenship?" and Alex Kirchberger, Programme Manager, will present the European Web Site on Integration.

The 13th International Metropolic conference will be hosted by the Ministry of Intergenerational Affairs, Family, Women and Integration of the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia and its partners.
