Ensuring equitable research collaboration between partners from low-, middle-, and high-income countries is emphatically affirmed by all guiding strategy documents of Germany’s foreign and research policy. One pertinent example is the Africa Strategy of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, which highlights the need for a joint development and implementation of research activities with partners from low- and middle-income countries.

During their joint workshop, the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) and the German Commission for UNESCO will invite experts to discuss concrete recommendations on what framework conditions are needed such that research collaboration (including also local stakeholders from low- and middle-income countries) can live up to the affirmation of equity. Individually selected experts from ministries and research funders as well as scientists, including from the field of development and forced migration research, will be invited to join the debate.

After 18 months of war driven displacement in and from Ukraine and even longer lasting research on relating topics, it is time for an interim summary. In this two-day workshop we aim to (a) take stock of the state of research on forced migration and integration of displaced persons in and from Ukraine, (b) facilitate feeding evidence into the public domain, and (c) identify research gaps and encourage future research collaboration.
