ABOUT

RefugeesLab is an IFCU (international federation of catholic universities) platform created in 2018 following the 2017 Refugee Migrant Network Conference in Rome. Comprised of 30 universities around the world, our platform provides the possibility of coordinating research regarding migrants, refugees and displaced populations (MRD).

RefugeesLab aims to create opportunities for the communication of academic knowledge and provide innovative approaches towards a wide-ranging discussion of the challenges faced by universities working with MRD’s. We aim to facilitate integration and provide refugees with access to Higher Education Institutions.

OBJECTIVES

Identify relevant funding sources and create consortia to apply to international tenders.
Bring knowledge about education in crisis contexts and advocate for MRDs in relation to access to education.
Consolidate research projects and provide access to private funds through the Laudato Si endowment fund.

Location

RefugeesLab is currently working in 15 countries around the world and with 30 Universities. Our work with refugees and internally displaced persons have different targets. We are currently updating project specific data.
