The Consortium Meeting of MargIn Project took place in Barcellona on the 13^th and  14^th June 2016.

This Meeting has been organized by one of the project partner (Interior Department of the Generalitat of Catolonia) and it faced the following topics: 1. Financial Reporting and budgetary issues; 2. Delphi Method process – iterative design process involving 12 international experts to define a number of indicator, enabling the assessment of insecurity among different social groups: overview of results; 3. Defining single expressions of the final version of the MARGIN survey, about the perception of insecurity. The final version of the survey has been presented to the Italian company selected by EuroCrime for the developing of interviews; 15.400 persons will be contacted in the following 4 months and they will be asked to answer to questions of the survey. 4. Definition of presentations to be done during the EC Mid-Term Review of the Project (that will take place in Barcelona in July 2016); 5. Passed and future dissemination and exploitation actions; 6. Next steps to be developed by partners.

All the seven institutions involved in the project were represented: Universitat de Barcelona (project leader, Spain), EuroCrime (Italy), National Institute of Criminology (Hungary), Institut national des hautes études de la sécurité et de la justice (France), Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Italy), University College London (United Kingdom), Departament d’Interior-Generalitat de Catalunya (Spain).

We remember that the MARGIN project provides policy makers with evidence-based tools for developing and assessing strategies targeted at the reduction of insecurity among different demographic and socio-economic groups. MARGIN sets up an international environment for knowledge exchange involving as partners some of the leading EU institutions in Crime Victimization Surveys (CVSs).
