Expert Council on Integration and Migration
Researcher
Berlin

I am specialised in migration, and have worked on a large range of migration, integration and refugee issues. Multilingual, with an international education and extensive work experience with an international organisation, my experience covers international cooperation and diplomacy, strategy development, and migration governance, policy and research. I have also worked at grassroots level with migrants and refugees. I have excellent academic credentials and have authored or contributed to a number of publications in the field of migration. I am driven by a passion for migration and those who move and for the big questions that arise from migration: are humans by nature sedentary or nomadic? Should migration be about the freedom of the individual or about the benefit to society? What do migration and diversity mean for the future of the nation-state, borders, and identities?

About the Migration Network Hub

What is the Migration Network Hub?

The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.

The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).

What content is displayed in the Hub?

The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
