Registration is required to submit projects and to make changes to your profile in the expert database.

Projects that meet the following requirements may be added to the database:

  • The project examines processes of forced migration or displacement; the lives of refugees and/or asylum seekers; and/or relevant asylum and refugee protection policies.
  • The project involves research and is based on the researchers’ own empirical observations and/or analyses of secondary data, guidelines or literature.
  • At least one partner organisation involved in the project is based in Germany.
  • The project has a budget (internal funding, third-party funding, research posts, grants, etc.).
  • The project has a minimum duration of three months and was not completed before 2011.

Your details will be entered into an online database. The location of your research institution will be marked on a map of the ‘research landscape’ in Germany.

Once your project has been published on the website, you may notify us of any changes or additions at any time.

The password must be at least 6 characters long and contain letters, numbers and special characters.

Information on Data Privacy

The protection of your data during its collection, processing, and use is a serious concern of ours. We are following the guidelines of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the complementary guidelines of the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (German Federal data protection law) (BDSG).

The questionnaire at hand is an important part of the joint research project ‘Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer’, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The research project is jointly conducted by BICC (Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies), Centre for Human Rights Erlangen Nürnberg (CHREN), and IMIS (Institut für Migrationsforschung und Interkulturelle Studien) at the University Osnabrück, all located in Germany. With the help of this questionnaire we are collecting data regarding research projects in Germany on forced migration and refugees, and about research institutes as well as individual researchers who contribute to these research projects for a SQL-database — the Research Database Forced Migration. These project-, institutional- and individual-specific specifications form the base of an interactive, web-based research map that is available on the research project’s website: Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer . The research database and map contribute to the networking of forced migration and refugee research in Germany as well as to knowledge transfer into politics, practice, and the public. Projects, institutions, and individuals who are active in the field can be identified at a glance. Research projects about specific themes and study regions can be easily found through key words. Therefore, the Research Database Forced Migration serves as an instrument to gain an overview of state-of-the-art research on forced migration and refugees, but also to identify gaps in the current scientific research.

The questionnaire collects personal data. Title and name of the individuals involved in your research project, as well as their role in the project, are collected and published on the website to increase the visibility of the individual researcher within the field of forced migration and refugee studies. Contact information (telephone number and email address) will also be saved, but are only made available to staff of this research project and will solely be used to inform you about changes in the Research Database Forced Migration, the research map and for further enquiry.

Lead management of the research database lies with BICC (responsible pursuant to the DSGVO). Only staff of the research project both from BICC and IMIS collect, evaluate and access the research database. Following the data protection guidelines, you can at all times request information, corrections and the deletion of individual personal data and recant your declaration of compliance. Should you want to make changes to the data regarding projects or institutions, you can contact us at all times.

  • In case of questions around data protection or information, correction, deletion, or suspension of personal data, please contact the data protection commissioner of bicc: Althammer & Kill GmbH & Co. KG : kontakt-dsb@althammer-kill.de
