Research InSightS LIVE #2 Seeking systemic action for refugees and migrants

Description

The second Research InSightS LIVE took place on 6 December 2021. During a hybrid event (online and at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam) host Lynn ZebedaOpens external welcomed nine guests to discuss how systemic action for refugees and migrants can be achieved.

The event focused on the protection of refugees in camps, migrants on the move, or (undocumented) migrants closer to home. The COVID-19 pandemic, continued migration and the recent developments in Afghanistan and Belarus demonstrate the importance of engaging with this topic. Moreover, there is a clear need for action. How to move away from ad-hoc half solutions towards durable and systemic solutions and action – at international, national and sub-national level? What can we learn from recent research findings?

During the event, academics of the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) and practitioners working in the field reflected on these questions and shared their ideas, experiences and research insights.
