Upcoming Webinar Series on Translating Academic Research into Effective Responses to Forced Displacement  

Join us for the Translating Academic Research into Effective Responses to Forced Displacement Sessions

On 24 and 25 May, join us for a series of online discussions in which we will explore how academic findings and initiatives that can support decision-making processes to improve the lives of refugees, forcibly displaced persons, and host communities. Over two sessions on the two days, a range of diverse research partners will showcase findings and initiatives that can support GCR stakeholders in making evidence-based decisions and policies based on reliable, independent research conducted by academics and persons with lived experience of forced displacement.

Key donors and supporters will also discuss the importance of producing actionable and relevant research that is led, co-designed and co-implemented with refugees and forcibly displaced persons.

Launched at the 2019 Global Refugee Forum, the Global Academic Interdisciplinary Network (GAIN) brings together universities, academic alliances, and research institutions, together with UNHCR and other relevant stakeholders to support the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR).

These webinars are free to attend.
