The specific objective of the SAM project is to implement a large scale survey of asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection housed in 3 European countries – Belgium, France, and Norway (survey countries). The collected information will be used primarily to better understand the push and pull factors, travel histories, and integration expectations of the populations in reception centres. Quantitative data and qualitative information will be collected directly from the reception population using a predefined sampling protocol. It will result in a report that EASO will use for internal purposes.
