The Monitoring Returned Minors (MRM) research project aimed at developing a monitoring and evaluation instrument that contributes to more sustainable and safer return of minors. The project was initiated by HIT Foundation on behalf of the European Commission and was executed in close collaboration with Nidos, Micado Migration, the University of Groningen and local researchers. It started in November 2012 and culminated in a presentation of the outcomes in the European Parliament in February 2014.
