Call for Panels:
5th Conference of the German Network for Forced Migration Studies, 17-18 September 2024, Bonn
.
We are pleased to announce that the international Conference of the German Network for Forced Migration Studies (NWFF) jointly organised with collaborative project “Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer" (FFVT) and the European Coalition of Migrants and Refugees (EU COMAR) will be hosted in Bonn in September 2024.
FFVT
Forced Migration and Refugee Studies Networking and Knowledge Transfer
The collaborative project "Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer” (FFVT) aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research on forced migration and refugees in Germany. To this end, the project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) , brings together research on migration, development, conflict and violence, climate change, health, governance and human rights and other topics. In this way, FFVT supports the networking of researchers and institutes working in all relevant fields of research dealing with forced migration.
Internationalisation
FFVT Fellowship programme
Strengthening the ties between German research to international Forced Migration and Refugee Studies is a core concern of the project “Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer (FFVT).” So far, German research is only inadequately represented in the international scientific landscape. The Bonn peace and conflict research institute BICC, the Centre for Human Rights Erlangen-Nürnberg (CHREN), the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) and the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) at the University of Osnabrück are working together as partners to increase the visibility of research in the international scientific landscape.
Ukraine
Ukraine: Forced Migration Information Hub
Besides causing widespread destruction and immense suffering, the Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022 also forced many people to leave their homes. This has led to mass forced migration and displacement, unprecedented in Europe in this scale and speed since World War II. For this reason, the FFVT project has set up a “Forced Migration Information Hub”.
