Are there any current data sets on the migration of refugees in Europe available? As information seems to be sparse, I don't really care what kind of data. For example, data on migration routes or registration data would be interesting, preferably from the governments or the EU.

One possible source would be The Migrant Files. It's a cross-border journalism project. If you scroll down on the main page, you'll find links to data, such as:

etc

There are links and references in each of the data sources.

Check global-refugees.info's data. It's available as a excel spreadsheet (.xlsx). And they also have some code explaining the process they used for making the visualizations on their website and on github https://github.com/NikolaSander/refugees/

UNHCR database

The main source of all the articles and visualizations is this http://popstats.unhcr.org/en/persons_of_concern

UNDATA

Some journalists also use this as their source http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?d=UNHCR&f=indID%3AType-Ref, although many argue that it's basically UNHCR's data afterreported.

    The UNHCR database seems to be fairly up to date. – Eekhoorn Jan 18 '16 at 21:38
  • Yes, I think the UNHCR database is the best source, sometimes it requires a little bit more or pre-processing but it's always well curated and up-to-date. – wacax Jan 19 '16 at 01:19
