Roundtable session – Policies and practices, ways forward
In this roundtable, we invite a dialogue on policies and practices and the way forward regarding matters related to refugees in Iceland. As researchers, we believe it is important that such a large-scale research project as the ESRCI initiative can contribute to future policy development in this field. Likewise, the research team has made an effort to engage in dialogue with policymakers and professionals in the field, so that the research is informed by the realities it seeks to reflect. Participants in the conversation will include advisors from ministries, municipalities and NGOs in Iceland.
