The Nuremberg Council for Integration and Immigration (short: Integration Council) represents the interests of Nuremberg's immigrants (foreigners, repatriates and naturalised citizens) in local politics. Its members are elected for a term of office of six years.
It advises the City Council and the city administration on all issues that affect immigrants in Nuremberg and are within the city's sphere of influence. It does this by making its own suggestions and by issuing statements at the request of the City Council or the city administration.
The Integration Council is informed of the city's plans that affect people with a migration background. The Integration Council can send a member to public meetings of the City Council committees to speak as an expert on integration issues.
The office of the Integration Council also serves as a contact point and guide for citizens seeking advice on issues relating to immigration law and integration policy.
