Researchers working on topics related to forced displacement, migration, (re-)integration, flight and refugees – such as for example forced migration, livelihood of refugees, labour migration, climate migration, mobilities through societal transformation processes such as urbanization, modalities of integration in receiving countries, or border and migration governance were invited to an interdisciplinary roundtable to meet colleagues from research institutions across Bonn who work on similar topics.
Why did we organize a Roundtable on Forced Displacement and Migration related Research?
In Bonn there is a great density of expertise in the research areas surrounding forced displacement, migration and integration, in institutions of higher education and of non-university research. A research mapping with a subsequent workshop in this thematic area took place in 2020 under the umbrella of the Bonn Alliance for Sustainability Research. A lot has happened since then, new projects have been established in this area and new colleagues joined the field. There have also been exchanges on migration topics in international cooperation through the University of Bonn (International Office).
The purpose of this roundtable was to get to know new faces, to exchange information and to discuss potentials and opportunities for future collaboration.
