Refugee Policy Network

The refugee policy research network will serve as the focal-point for policy-relevant research on refugee, forced migration and humanitarian issues, and as a "bridge-builder" between the policy, NGO and research communities in Canada and around the world. The network will foster this sharing and dialogue through both formal and informal means. Semi-annual roundtable discussions between researchers and representatives of the local, regional, national and international policy and NGO communities will be convened. Informally, the network will also work to more effectively disseminate policy-relevant refugee research through briefing papers, mail-lists and regular meetings with key members of the policy and NGO community.
 
Current institutional linkages include: World Food Program, UNHCR, UNICEF, Citizenship and Immigration Canada and  Metropolis Canada. Potential linkages include, among others, IOM, UNHCHR, IGC, ICRC and other governmental and intergovernmental bodies.
