The Kaldor Centre works to catalyse change by bringing people together to share knowledge and generate new insights for better responses to displacement. Acting as a bridge between scholarship, policy and practice, we strengthen the capacity of the refugee sector as a whole by resourcing and coordinating with our vast network of scholars, policymakers, legal practitioners, civil society and refugee-led organisations.Â
We are committed to building up the next generation of thought leaders in forced migration, through supporting the development of early career scholars and advancing the voices of people with lived experience in academic and policy fora. Explore our networks and collaborations below.
