This workshop, co-hosted with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Global Academic Interdisciplinary NetworK (GAIN) to mark World Refugee Day, emphasized the contributions of academia in fostering refugee inclusion and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. UNAI is an initiative that engages institutions of higher education with the United Nations in supporting and contributing to the realization of the Organization's purposes and principles. UNHCR is a United Nations agency mandated to aid and protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people, and to assist in their voluntary repatriation, local integration or resettlement to a third country. GAIN, established under the auspices of the Global Compact on Refugees, aims to enhance teaching and research on forced displacement, while promoting solidarity with refugee students and scholars.
