IDRC at the Global Refugee Forum

From December 13 to 15, 2023, the Global Refugee Forum convenes for the second time in Geneva to advance the 2018 Global Compact for Refugees, a framework to transform the way the world responds to refugee situations. 

IDRC is co-hosting one of the linked events held in Geneva as part of the official programme to highlight the IDRC Research Chairs on Forced Displacement initiative. The 12 IDRC Research Chairs will be in Geneva to share their efforts in bringing more localized knowledge to national, regional and global policy dialogues. 

Join us online or in person for our session called Promoting evidence-based implementation of the Global Compact for Refugees through teaching, research and solidarity, on December 12, 2023, from 18:30–20:30 (CET). This event will showcase the impact that academic contributions can have on the protection of forcibly displaced and stateless people, and solutions to address their challenges. It will highlight the IDRC Research Chairs on Forced Displacement, Sergio de Mello Research Chairs and commitments under the Shifting Power multi-stakeholder pledge  in support of the 15by30 campaign goal to enroll at least 15% of young refugee men and women in higher education by 2030. 

The event includes opening remarks from IDRC President Julie Delahanty. It is co-hosted by the Government of Brazil, the Government of Canada and the Geneva Graduate Institute in partnership with the UN Refugee Agency, the Global Academic Interdisciplinary Network (GAIN) and IDRC.
