In 2005, the Rockwool Foundation decided to initiate, through its Research Unit, a project that would investigate the signifi cance for the Danish labour market of the immigration of foreign labour. Such a project became especially relevant in light of the enlargement of the EU in 2004 to include a number of Eastern Eu-ropean countries. Moreover, the immigration of labour and integration into the labour market have always constituted one of the most highly prioritised areas of research for the Foundation. The Research Unit then entered into a collaboration agreement with the Cen-tre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR) at the Copenhagen Business School.
