FFVT Project

"Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer"
The project (2020–2024) that is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research on forced migration and refugees. To this end, it links research on migration, development, conflicts and violence, climate change, health, governance and human rights as well as other fields of studies. The Bonn peace and conflict research institute BICC, the Centre for Human Rights Erlangen-Nuremberg (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 collaborating to establish academic courses in forced migration and refugee studies, make German forced migration & refugee studies more visible in the international research landscape and facilitate a close exchange between FFVT and academia, politics and practice.
