The Danish Special Act and the Reception of Ukrainian refugees in Denmark
The Danish Special Act (adopted on 16 March 2022), also known as the “Ukrainian law”, grants temporary residence permits to displaced Ukrainian citizens and persons recognised as refugees from Ukraine, and provides the right to work, school, vocational education, access to health services, social benefits, the national integration programme, and temporary accommodation in a Danish municipality. In contrast to refugees from other countries, Ukrainian applicants will not be subject to personal assessment and have been promised a fast procedure.
At this seminar researchers and experts will take a 360-degree view of the Danish Special Act, considering it in relation to the EU Temporary Protection Directive, exploring its effects on the reception of Ukrainian refugees in the Danish health care system and within municipal housing.
The seminar will be organised as a hybrid event, with the possibility of participating in person or online.
