Integrierenden

Integrierenden is the present participle form (Partizip I) of the German verb integrieren, meaning to integrate or to bring together into a whole. As an adjective it describes ongoing or active integration, for example processes, measures or actors that promote or perform integration. Like other participles used as adjectives, integrierenden is declined to agree with the noun it modifies. This form commonly appears in plural or certain cases, such as die integrierenden Maßnahmen or mit den integrierenden Maßnahmen, while the exact ending depends on gender, number and case.

In social policy and migration discourse it can describe actions intended to foster social integration, for instance integrierende Maßnahmen to support newcomers. In technology and business, integrierenden Prozesse or integrierende Systeme refer to efforts to combine components into a cohesive whole, such as software or organizational processes. In academic writing, it helps convey a sense of active, ongoing integration.
