Online Scientific Survey on Newcomers in Belgium.

21/05/2026

“New Voices” is a research project carried out by BRISPO, Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

The project is designed with and for newcomers in Belgium. The aim is to better understand the realities of people who have arrived in Belgium within the past ten years - their living situations, health conditions, experiences on the labour market, social networks, and encounters with discrimination.

To collect relevant data, the research team has prepared an online questionnaire that takes approximately 15–20 minutes and is available in 10 languages (English, French, Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Persian, and Portuguese).

During the anonymous survey, no personal data is collected. In addition, every respondent has the chance to win one of ten vouchers worth EUR 200 each for IKEA or bol.com.

We invite all adults who have arrived in Belgium within the past ten years and do not hold Belgian citizenship to take part in the study and share their experiences by completing the survey available at the link.

 We would also appreciate it if you could share information about this study with your friends who are newcomers in Belgium as well.
