The Refugee Research Network (RRN) aims to contribute to the improvement of the well-being of refugees and forced migrants around the world by: 1) expanding our awareness of the global knowledge regime concerning refugee issues and forced migration 2) improving communication concerning this knowledge within and between academic, policy-making and practice sectors in the Global South and North, and 3) alliance-building and active policy involvement in the development of national and international policy frameworks and humanitarian practices affecting refugees and forced migrants.

About the RRN Website

Posted Tue, 2009/06/30 - 14:55 by mmillard

The www.refugeeresearch.net site has been created to encourage as much online collaboration, networking and information-sharing among researchers doing work on refugee and forced migration-related issues as possible. We use the term "researcher" quite broadly - it encompasses academics affiliated with universities, colleges and other research institutes, field- and community-based researchers, individuals working within the I/NGO, grassroots and governmental sectors who produce various kinds of theoretical and/or policy relevant and practice-based research. 

As part of the network, you will have access to a number of tools that can facilitate online collaboration. Learning how to use them is actually quite easy, and over the coming months, we will be developing short online tutorials available to all RRN members, as well as being available to provide more immediate support.
