Call for Applications: FFVT International Summer School on Forced Migration and Governance
"The Future of Asylum"
What is the future of asylum in an era of democratic backsliding? In what ways is the right to asylum preserved symbolically while practical access is restricted? How do global, regional, and national regimes shape contemporary asylum policies? What practical and policy measures can be implemented to safeguard the right to asylum and uphold human rights standards? To what extent is the future of asylum a litmus test for the sustainability of democratic governance and the protection of human rights?
Do these questions spark your curiosity? Examine these and other related questions with us as we critically discuss the uncertain future of asylum at the FFVT International Summer School on Forced Migration and Governance 2026. The international, interdisciplinary Summer School is hosted by the Center for Human Rights Erlangen- Nürnberg (FAU CHREN) as part of the project “Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer” (FFVT) and takes place in Nuremberg, Germany, from 14th to 20th June 2026.
Application Deadline: January 31, 2026
