Abstract
Driven by the growing gap between migrants with a non-European background and the mainstream society of the European Union, this research aims to describe the key elements constituting successful integration into the Dutch society for non-EU migrants living in Groningen. The research is of societal relevance since societies promoting social integration are found to be better off than societies that do not in terms of social inequality and poverty. Two models found in existing academic literature were used to create a conceptual model consisting of the most important influencers on integration with facilities, daily life, foundation and the social connection as the main domains. After the conduction of 6 in-depth interviews with participants with a non-EU background residing in Groningen, it can be concluded that language is the most important constitutor for integration and should not be looked at independently, but as an overarching connecting factor. Location dependency was found to be of added value to the existing theories as it can have a stimulating or obstructing effect on the process of integration.
