2025-2026
The Department of Sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy, Trnava University in Trnava conducted research in 2025–2026 within the framework of the international SMART UA project, focusing on housing and employment of displaced persons from Ukraine in Slovakia.
The main outputs of the project are national analytical reports addressing the housing market and the labour market in the context of the integration of Ukrainian refugees in Slovakia. The reports combine qualitative and quantitative research, mapping of relevant stakeholders, and the identification of best practices. Their aim is to provide evidence-based support for strategic decision-making, public policy development, and the design of systemic solutions in the field of integration of persons under temporary protection.
NATIONAL REPORT ON HOUSING FOR UKRAINIAN REFUGEES: MARKET ANALYSIS AND BEST PRACTICES
An analytical report building on the 2025 mapping, expanding the perspective to include housing market demand and supply analysis, structural barriers, financial sustainability, and the identification of best practices. The report serves as a basis for developing systemic solutions within integration policy.
HOUSING SUPPORT FOR UA REFUGEES IN SLOVAKIA
A research report mapping institutions and organizations providing housing support, their capacities, forms of assistance, and barriers to cooperation. The report focuses on the transition from spontaneous, solidarity-driven aid to more systematic integration mechanisms and identifies gaps in coordination and funding.
A comprehensive analytical report based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods (focus groups, individual interviews, and a survey conducted among refugees). It examines the structural conditions of labour market integration, the mismatch between qualifications and employment, sectoral trends, and formulates recommendations for strategic decision-making at both national and European levels.
EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT FOR UA REFUGEES IN SLOVAKIA
A research report focused on mapping stakeholders involved in employment support, analysing the services provided, and identifying barriers to labour market integration.
